Media Infographic View on the News
Posted by Alex Zielinski on Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 11:14 AM
The longer I work in news, the more I've solidified a secret passion: I love infographics. This one in particular - pieced together by GOOD, Column Five and the Pew Research Center - tackles news media in particular, specifically the public's take on its role.

Nonetheless, folks still trust local news organizations over the Obama administration, political candidates, Congress and the federal government as a whole.
Check out a zoomed-in version of the entire infrographic below here.
