Dateline: Australia, Federal Politics and the Media, 2013.
As the issue of the media has been a point of contentious discussion in our current federal political discourse, and many opinions from commentators and politicians have been offered, I thought it would be worthwhile examining what the public's opinion is of the various media outlets.
On the 19th August 2013, during the recent federal election campaign, Essential Research published its results to the following question:
"How much trust do you have in the way the following media have reported and commented on the election campaign so far? - A lot of trust, some trust, not much trust, no trust at all, don't know, don't use."
The combined responses (in descending order) to 'a lot of trust' and 'some trust' were as follows:

Res ipsa loquitur.
According to Crikey recently, the Courier Mail has lifted it's trust level [what has it been doing?] and the Telegraph continues in the cellar.
ReplyDeleteThe numbers Crikey cites [I am unsure of the source] are different to ER's but the order is pretty much the same.
