Four in five adults (80%) say they are confident in their ability to identify false news and information. In addition, nearly half of Americans (47%) say they "often" or "always" check other sources to confirm whether news and information are accurate.

Credibility of source:

The most trusted sources of information include: family (74%), people like me (72%) and friends (70%).

Among all media sources, local newspapers (62%) and local broadcast news (62%) perform well in terms of trustworthiness and their ability to provide accurate news and information. Among newspapers, USA Today (47%) is considered the most trustworthy source, followed by The New York Times (46%), The Wall Street Journal (44%) and The Washington Post (42%).
