The media has talked too much about some issues and not enough about others

[Shishirgano9]

If the news media are experiencing a major crisis of confidence, like other institutions, its relationship with citizens has reached a rare level of violence in recent weeks. It is in this context that Kantar Sofres for La Croix is ​​today publishing its annual barometer on "the confidence of the French in the media". If the news is experiencing a resurgence of interest, distrust of journalists remains significant and the credibility of the media is at its lowest level. The French are not very satisfied with the treatment of major subjects but, on a positive note, consider journalists as the first line of defense against fake news.


2018 was rich in significant events that fueled the media and malta mobile number database discussions on social networks. The French consider that the media talked too much about the dispute over Johnny Hallyday's inheritance (88%), the Benalla affair (60%) and the victory of the French team in the World Cup final (47%), not enough about the Climate March (54%), the revelations about pedophilia cases in the Catholic Church (49%) and the vote on the law on street harassment (43%) but spoke adequately about the terrorist attack on the Strasbourg Christmas market (70%), the fires in California (68%) and the commemorations of the centenary of the First World War (62%).
