SINGAPORE - Mainstream outlets were the most trusted news brands in Singapore, where overall trust in news remained stable in 2022, according to the Digital News Report 2023 by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, published on Wednesday.
The findings come amid ongoing debates in Singapore about media independence and audience trust. Some of these debates have centred on the Government funding SPH Media Trust up to $180 million annually, from 2023 to 2027. On average, only 40 per cent of people polled around the world said they trust most news, most of the time. In Singapore, this proportion was 45 per cent, up from 43 per cent in the 2022 report.
The Straits Times was the most popular news source offline, with 37 per cent of respondents reporting that they read the publication weekly, similar to the year before. This was followed by Channel NewsAsia with 33 per cent, and Channel 8 News with 26 per cent. YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok grew as platforms for news, while Facebook declined. WhatsApp remained the most used social app for news.
