UK - In media we trust. Or do we?

The Guardian live blogs the We Media Global Forum from London. If you can trust a blog.

People trust TV news the most, and web the least. But hang on, It's a different story if you are aged between 18 and 24, when you are more likely to trust the web than the press. A sign of things to come? Everyone in this room certainly hopes so.

Just like the Eurovision Song Contest, the UK media fares badly compared to other countries when it comes to trust and accuracy. Not quite nil points, but not much better. Blogs aren't trusted either. Apart from this one, obviously. [...]

"As far as blogs are concerned I am addicted to myspace.com. But ultimately it is like talking to someone down the pub. I would not go down the pub to talk about the Chad elections. People still want news and news from an unbiased perspective. Don't confuse the two things." That's another vote for blogs then.
