A recent survey by Edelman revealed that global trust in the media and government has fallen, which means businesses have become the most trusted institution.
The survey, which takes the responses from over 33Â 000 respondents, measures trust out of a score of 100 with a score of 50 and above considered trustworthy.
Global trust in government leaders fell to 41 after remaining at 43 for 2020, while trust in journalists was recorded at 45, a 5 point decline from last year. Trust in the respondentâs CEO or employer eclipsed both these numbers as it stood at 63.
