CNN's credibility in the U.S. 2020

A survey held in the United States in 2020 showed that 21 percent of responding adults believed CNN to be very credible, and 21 percent said that they did not consider CNN credible at all. Attitudes to the trustworthiness of CNN varied among adults in different age brackets, with more than double the share of adults aged over 65 deeming the news publication very untrustworthy than those aged between 18 and 29 years. Opinions on news media tend to vary according to readers’ political stance, age, educational background and myriad other factors, and in an age of fake news consumers are demonstrating a higher degree of awareness of how and where they access their news.

In 2017, ABC was considered the most credible major news organization in the United States, followed closely by CBS and NBC. By comparison, just 18 percent of surveyed U.S. adults thought of Breitbart as a credible news source, and Huffington Post did not fare much better. Credibility is important – there are serious concerns about the accuracy of news stories and a study revealed that most Americans believed that fake news causes a great deal of confusion about basic facts. Accurate reporting as a result of proper research and fact-checking is more in demand than ever, as consumers grow increasingly concerned about the trustworthiness of traditional and modern news sources. So what does this mean for publications like CNN?
