Thailand is the country in the Asia-Pacific region with the highest percentage of respondents who trust most news across various media outlets. This is evident in the Reuters Institute's *Digital News Report 2023*.

51% of Thai respondents claimed to trust most news. Singapore follows in second place as the most trusting country in the Asia-Pacific region, with 45% of respondents expressing trust.

Australia ranks third, with 43% of respondents trusting most news.

So, does Indonesia feature among the countries that most trust the news in the Asia-Pacific region?

The Reuters Institute findings show that 39% of Indonesian respondents admitted to trusting most news. This figure is relatively low.

This places Indonesia seventh in the Asia-Pacific region for news trust. Hong Kong shares a similar proportion.

Globally, Finland holds the highest public trust in news, with 69% of respondents expressing trust. According to the Reuters Institute report, countries with higher levels of trust in news tend to have higher levels of political polarization.

This macro survey involved 93,000 respondents from 46 countries worldwide. The survey on public trust in news involved 2,000 respondents from each country.

Data collection was conducted in late January-early February 2023 using an online questionnaire method, with a margin of error of approximately 2%.
