among the television networks. Four in ten

When those who
rate PBS news and public affairs
|
|
|
programming as
“somewhat” trusted are combined with
|
|
|
the “great deal”
ratings, the extent of trust people have in
|
|
|
PBS news rises to
83%, again the highest overall
|
|
|
trustworthiness
rating of all of the networks. These
|
|
|
ratings are high
across all demographic subgroups.

great deal by almost one-quarter (23%),
