YouTube Overtakes TV as Top Source of Political News, Study Finds  Newhouse School at Syracuse University

The Center for the Creator Economy’s inaugural industry Flash Report Survey found that six in 10 Americans say they trust independent creators as much as professional journalists. The reported result is a comparison of Americans’ stated trust in two groups: independent creators and professional journalists. It indicates that, among respondents described in the survey finding, trust in creators can match trust in journalists. The finding is presented as a survey result, reflecting what Americans said about their trust. The survey is identified by the Center for the Creator Economy as its inaugural industry Flash Report Survey.

Its stated trust measure does not rank independent creators above professional journalists; instead, it reports that six in 10 Americans regard the two with equal trust. The available finding centers on the share saying their trust is the same, rather than describing a difference in trust between the groups. The result therefore supplies a direct comparison of stated confidence in independent creators and professional journalists, as reported by Americans surveyed.
