A research report released by the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kemkominfo) in collaboration with the Katadata Insight Center (KIC) shows that television remains the most trusted media source for information among Indonesians.

This preference accounts for 43.5% of responses. This figure represents a decrease from the previous year's 47%.

Social media ranks second as the most trusted media source, at 30.8%. While social media is the largest source of information received by the public this year (72.6%), this percentage does not align with its trustworthiness rating.

Government websites are third at 10.1%, surpassing online news at 9.7%.

Kominfo notes that over the past three years, trust in online information sources, including social media and online news, has generally increased. Conversely, trust in conventional media such as national television, print media, and radio has decreased among respondents.

This digital literacy survey has been conducted annually for three consecutive years. This year's survey was conducted between August 1st and September 31st, 2022.

The methodology employed a multistage random sampling of 10,000 respondents across Indonesia who had used the internet in the past three months and were aged 13-70 years old.

The following list shows the percentage of news sources most trusted by Indonesians for obtaining information:

* National Television: 43.5%
* Social Media: 30.8%
* Government Websites: 10.1%
* Online News: 9.7%
* Print Media: 0.6%
* Radio: 0.4%
* No Access at All: 3%
