Public trust in media in several countries has declined with the proliferation of social media platforms and search engines. The 2018 Edelman Trust Barometer report shows that out of 28 surveyed countries, only six had a trust level in media above 50%. The rest exhibited distrust, with trust levels below 50%.

In Indonesia, media remains a reference for the public in seeking information. This is reflected in the Indonesian public's trust in media, which reaches 68%. This figure places Indonesia's public trust in media second only to China, which has a trust level of 71%.

The rapid advancement of telecommunications technology has influenced how people receive information. Previously, obtaining news required actively seeking sources; now, information automatically flows into individuals' social media feeds. Unfortunately, much of the information on social media consists of misinformation and fake news with unclear sources and questionable veracity.
