Studie des Marktforschungsunternehmens Ipsos, 6.9.2018 (engl. Originalfassung)
Fake news, post truth and filter bubbles are other people’s problems, not ours...
- • 65% think that other people live in a bubble on the internet, mostly looking for opinions they
- already agree with
- • BUT only 34% say they live in their own bubble
- • 63% are confident they can identify fake news
- • BUT only 41% think average person can
- • 58% think they’re better than average at spotting fake news, only 28% think they’re not
- • 60% think other people don’t care about facts any more, they just believe what they want
- • 59% think they have a better understanding of social realities like crime rates than the average
- person, only 29% think they don’t
Fake news and media lies...
- • 60% say they very or fairly often see stories where news organisations have deliberately lied
- • BUT there’s a very wide range from 82% in Argentina to 30% in Germany
- • 48% say they’ve believed a story they then found out was fake
- • people define ‘fake news’ mostly as stories where the facts are wrong, but 36% see it as a term
- politicians use to discredit stories they don’t like
- • up to 51% in the US
We think trust in politicians is falling and misuse of facts is rising – but also that our political knowledge is holding up...
- • Majority in every country and 64% globally think people trust politicians less than 30 years ago,
- including 80% in Sweden
- • ...and 57% think there is more misuse of facts in the media/politics than 30 years ago, with
- South Africa and the US most likely to agree
- • BUT we’re more evenly split on whether average person in our countries knows more or less
- about politics and society than 30 years ago: 30% think we know less, but 39% say more. And
- there is wide variation across countries: 66% of South Koreans say they know more, only 21%
- in France
