Abstract

Studies into why young people choose to study journalism have often been informed by a belief in journalism's inherent worthiness within civil society.
However, as surveys show decreasing trust in journalism and increasing avoidance of news in many countries, this paper asks whether young people are being put off studying journalism in part because of rising public cynicism around its societal worth.
The research compares data sets across multiple countries in order to explore whether there is a statistical relationship between attitudes among 18-20-year-olds towards trust in news and interest in learning to produce it.
