Title: BBC News 'still trusted'.
Post by Administrator on Nov 2^nd, 2018, 10:53pm

This report from The Press Gazette, written by James Walker, features recent research done by US-based "Pew Research".

"Young people in the UK are less likely to trust the BBC compared to older audiences, according to a new survey from the Pew Research Center.

Just under three quarters of under 30s in the UK said they trusted the BBC, compared to 81 per cent of over 50s, the survey found.

Although trust in the BBC was slightly lower among younger UK audiences, the public broadcaster was still named as the main source of news for all age groups."
