How much do Canadians trust different media outlets?

July 12, 2023 —A new study by Pollara shows Canadians place a high level of trust in national news networks like CTV, Global, and the CBC, and in major print publications like The Globe and Mail, The National Post, Maclean’s, and The Toronto Star.

On the other end of the spectrum is FOX News, which is trusted less than even The Beaverton, a satirical news outlet.

Though Canadians are largely trusting of major Canadian media outlets, there is a partisan divide, with Liberal voters more trusting than Conservative voters of most major news outlet. Even The Weather Network is not immune to this, with Liberal voters significantly more trusting (81% trustworthy / 9% untrustworthy) of it than Conservative voters (70% trustworthy / 18% untrustworthy).
