The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation teamed up with analytics firm Gallup on an experiment to examine the level of trust in news articles being shared over the internet, both from the people doing the sharing and the people receiving those links and looking into matters further.
This study was conducted using Gallup’s experimental news aggregation website, which regularly collects news stories from seven major news outlets across the political spectrum: left-leaning (The New York Times, Vox, Media Matters), neutral (The Associated Press) and right-leaning (100PercentFedUp, Breitbart News, Fox News).
Gallup said 30,062 members of the Gallup Panel were invited to join the study, and 4,802 clicked on the invitation and were enrolled from May 3 through June 4.
