On the heels of the National Newspaper Association shutting down its national ad sales company comes this — it seems no one trusts newspapers anymore.

This is also the 10th straight year that more Americans said they had “Very little/none” confidence in papers, as opposed to “A great deal/quite a lot.”
The drop can be partly blamed on Democrats, who for the first time in the study’s history just aren’t feeling newspapers’ vibe.
