Only One in Three Under 30 Trust Public Broadcasting

New Survey Shows: ARD and ZDF Lose Trust Dramatically

A new survey shows that public broadcasters ARD and ZDF are losing trust dramatically, especially among younger viewers. Only one in three people under the age of 30 trust public broadcasting, according to the survey conducted by the Hans-Bredow-Institut (HBI) for Media Education.

The survey also found that trust in public broadcasting has declined across all age groups in recent years. In 2016, 52% of people under the age of 30 trusted public broadcasting. That number has now fallen to just 33%. Among all age groups, trust in public broadcasting has fallen from 60% in 2016 to 49% today.

The HBI survey suggests that the decline in trust in public broadcasting is due to a number of factors, including the perception that public broadcasters are biased, out of touch with the concerns of ordinary people, and too focused on political correctness.

The HBI survey also found that younger viewers are more likely to get their news from social media than from traditional media outlets such as television and radio. This may be another factor contributing to the decline in trust in public broadcasting, as younger viewers are less likely to be exposed to the in-depth reporting and analysis that public broadcasters provide.

The decline in trust in public broadcasting is a serious concern, as public broadcasting plays an important role in a democratic society. Public broadcasters provide a valuable service by providing in-depth reporting and analysis on important issues, and they help to keep the public informed about the world around them.

It is important to note that the HBI survey is just one survey, and it is possible that other surveys would find different results. However, the HBI survey is a well-respected survey, and its findings are consistent with other research on the decline in trust in public broadcasting.

The decline in trust in public broadcasting is a complex issue with no easy solutions. However, it is important to understand the factors that are contributing to this decline so that we can take steps to address them.
