  • A lack of trust in the state is associated with a lack of trust in media.

    “Gainous et al.'s (2018) study on Malaysia, which has a restrictive media environment, and Jones' ( 2004) study on the United States both found that a lack of trust in the state is associated with a lack of trust in media.”

  • People in autocracies are less likely to trust journalists because they know journalists must self-censor to secure and maintain their positions, but they are also more likely to trust online news because they perceive it to be less censored.

    “People in autocracies are less likely to trust journalists because they know journalists must self-censor to secure and maintain their positions, but they are also more likely to trust online news because they perceive it to be less censored (Gainous et al., 2018;Tsfati, 2010).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
