An interesting bit of research by Survation for BBC Bitesize, questioning some 2,000 children aged 11 to 16 about trust in various news sources.
Asked what sources they'd use to check if a news story was true, 66% said parents, 43% said different news sites, 35% said social media, 29% turned to friends and only 23% turned to Wikipedia.
67% said they trusted ("A great deal" + "Quite a bit") news from the BBC. For ITV it was 65%, Channel 4 56%, newspapers in general 50%, YouTube 43%, Instagram 34%, and TikTok 31%.
And on who they trusted to tell them the truth ? Parents on top again, at 36%, followed by 'experts on the subject' at 17%, the BBC at 12%, teachers at 11%, 'News Presenters' (sorry, Huw) 7%, friends and social media influencers level on 5%, and politicians 1%.
