Most Indonesians trust information spread among fellow citizens, more than information from religious leaders, academics, journalists, or politicians.

This is evident from a survey report by BBC Media Action titled Indonesia Information Environment (August 2025).

BBC Media Action surveyed approximately 5,000 Indonesians aged 15 and above, accompanied by a qualitative study conducted from April 2024 to May 2025.

They found that 44% of respondents trusted information sourced from the general public the most.

Other information sources that were fairly trusted include religious figures (37%). Meanwhile, experts/academics (30%), journalists/bloggers (22%), and politicians (10%) were trusted less frequently.

From the qualitative study results, BBC Media Action also assessed that Indonesian society is generally vulnerable to misinformation and disinformation.

"While six distinct audience groups differ in various ways, key factors include low levels of concern about mis- and disinformation, a tendency to believe in conspiracy theories, limited levels of digital literacy, and a low likelihood of verifying information before sharing," they stated.
