Pew Charitable Trust Gives US Media Mixed Reviews

June 27, 2005 · Filed Under Blogging, Bloggers, Current Affairs, Trust, Web/Tech 

The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press in a June survey found that most Americans say they like the mainstream media while questioning their patriotism and fairness which they say is consistent with prior surveys.

Also, they found that 1/3 of Americans below the age of 40 say that the internet is their main source for news…including reading on-line editions of local and national newspapers.

So…we apparently like the mainstream media even through we feel that it is biased and unpatriotic. Is this yet another paradox of modern life or do the circulation numbers tell the story more accurately? The Long Tail on April 10, 2005 posted a list of the extent of the mainstream media meltdowm.
