Canadians still value newspapers but worry about misinformation
 
 
A recently released survey conducted by Totum Research for News Media Canada among 2,418 adults across the country, has revealed that 76% of adult newspaper readers are concerned about fake news, with 9 in 10 more concerned now than they were 3 years ago. Despite this, 55% remain confident they can still identify credible news sources. This increases to 62% among Gen Z adults, a digital-savvy generation who grew up with media-literacy tools.
Overall, trusted journalism continues to be valued.  A majority (81%) said access to Canadian news is important, and 90% believe that it’s essential to find reliable information about their community from Canadian newspapers, both printed and digital. Canadians also want reliable local journalism, and newspapers remain the most trusted source for that, the survey added.
