Trust in media content during the COVID-19 outbreak in Sweden 2019-2020
Swedes had the highest confidence in content provided by the public broadcaster Sveriges Television (SVT) during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. This was the result of a survey conducted from April to June 2020. 81 percent of the respondents had high or fairly high trust in SVT, which was growth of seven percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. While the confidence in further broadcasters, such as Sveriges Radio and TV4, increased, trust in newspapers declined from 2019 to 2020.
