► AVAILABLE NOW: Digital News Report 2019
Spanish users take precautions from misinformation and demand more depth and vigilance from the media
Despite recent efforts by the media and technological companies to generate better public credibility, Spanish netizens' confidence in the news continues to fall. Only 43% of users routinely rely on information they receive, compared to 32% of whom are skeptical. The political and social tension from the past three years have contributed to the institutional discredit of the media in Spain; whose credibility collapsed eight points since 2017, from 51% to the current 43%. This is one of the main conclusions of the Spanish Digital News Report 2019 prepared by the Faculty of Communication of the University of Navarra. It was based on more than 2,000 conducted interviews with Spanish internet users during the months of January and February 2019. The study is part of the largest global media consumption research coordinated by the University of Oxford in 38 countries.
