Often considered the go-to source for independent, reliable data and analysis, Gallup has long-combined analytics and advice to help leaders and organizations identify opportunities and create meaningful change. Gallup has an 80-year history of building, preparing and analyzing data sets of all kinds. This Gallup report, The State of Public Trust in Local News, was no different. It was developed for the Knight Foundation in order to better understand the current and precarious state of trust in local news.
