Social Media News: Trust in Crisis

Over a million Dutch people now get their news from social media — despite trusting it barely 12%. Younger audiences are especially hooked, with 33% of 18-34-year-olds and half of 18-24-year-olds following “news influencers” who repackage headlines. Meanwhile, overall news interest has dropped from 61% to 45%, and 7% of adults (up to 13% of youth) now turn to AI chatbots for news. Even as trusted outlets like NOS remain top picks, distrust in news has doubled since 2018 — a warning the regulator says we must act on.
