The research also showed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s supporters were more likely to trust news on the messaging app than those critical of him

The majority of Indian citizens trust news that they receive on WhatsApp, a study released on Thursday by the Oxford University’s Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism found.

The study analysed responses of citizens in India, Brazil, the United Kingdom and United States on questions about trust on news outlets and social media platforms. It sought to examine “the relationship between trust in news and how people think about news on digital platforms”.

According to the study, 77% of respondents in India said that they trusted the news media in general. Meanwhile, 54% of them said that they trusted news that they receive on WhatsApp, 51% on Google and YouTube, 41% on Facebook, 27% on Instagram, 25% on Twitter and 15% on TikTok.

The study also showed that 70% of those who held a favourable opinion about Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that they trust news on WhatsApp, as compared to 58% of those who held unfavourable opinions about him.

Nearly half of the Indian respondents (48%) said that they get news online at least once a day, which was the lowest figure among the four countries that were part of the study. Meanwhile, 34% of Indians said that they never get news from online sources, which is by far the highest figure among the four countries.
