Kansas City, tell us your thoughts on trust and the media

We know distrust in the media is high nationwide, and we want to better understand how you decide what information is trustworthy.

In an effort to connect with readers on this critical topic, The Kansas City Star is seeking your thoughts on trust and the media. If you turn to The Star, great. If you look to other publications for your news, we’d still like to hear from you.

What elements determine trustworthiness to you? Which outlets do you rely on for news? Which do you avoid?

We’re hoping for a diverse group of respondents, so we ask that you share the survey with family members, friends and co-workers. Your participation will help us to better deliver the news to Kansas City.
