Americans’ trust in the media remains at a record low, a new Gallup poll reports, with only 31% of those surveyed expressing a “great deal” or “fair amount” of confidence in the press.
That is a lower confidence rate for the press than for Congress, federal courts and respondents’ own state and local government.
The high point in trust in the media came in the 1970s at 68% to 72% of those polled, according to Gallup.
Student reporters created three short documentaries during study abroad.
