The AUT research centre for

published its second
Trust in News in New Zealandreport
which examines New Zealand citizens’ trust in news, news
brands, and journalism. During the past year, New
Zealanders’ trust in the news has eroded. In 2021, 48% of
New Zealanders trusted news in general (down 5% on April
2020 survey) and 55% trusted the news they consumed
themselves (down 7% on April 2020).
The report is
co-authored by Dr Merja Myllylahti and Dr Greg
