    Notes: American adults have the most trust in local TV news, finds Harris Interactive, with 78% having at least some trust that it will get them the news fairly and accurately. Local newspapers (76%) and radio (73%) follow closely, while online-only news sites such as the Huffington Post are trusted by the fewest (61%) respondents, chiefly due to a lack of trust among Matures (69+). Interestingly, Baby Boomers (50-68) have the most trust in each news media type save for online-only news sites, where they trail Gen Xers (38-49) by a slight margin.

        About the Data: The Harris Poll was conducted online, in English, within the United States between August 13 and 18, 2014 among 2,537 adults (aged 18 and over). Figures for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, region and household income were weighted where necessary to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents’ propensity to be online.
