Trust in media and compliance - Social Identity and Groups Network (SIGN) - University of Queensland

Using data from the Australia and the UK, we find consistent associations between trust in news, and well-being and compliance. Currently being tested experimentally, this investigation uses a social identity lens to highlight the need for government and media bodies to work explictly on the issue of connection and trust with news sources.
