The reason U.S. trust in the media reached an all-time low this year has nothing to do with the quality of the coverage, according to a recent study.

And they disagree with the legacy media’s insistence on showcasing the nation’s problems. “When journalists say they are just doing their jobs, in other words, the problem is many people harbor doubts about what the job should be,” said the American Press Institute, which partnered with the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research for the survey.
