Supplementary notes
Original question: "How trustworthy would you say news from the following brands is? Please use the scale below, where 0 is ‘not at all trustworthy’ and 10 is ‘completely trustworthy’. Details: 6–10 coded as ‘Trust’, 5 coded as ‘Neither’, 0–4 coded as ‘Don’t trust’. Those that haven’t heard of each brand were excluded. Whether respondents consider a brand trustworthy is their subjective judgement, and the scores are aggregates of public opinion, not an objective assessment of underlying trustworthiness."
According to a 2026 survey on user trust in media brands, Astro Awani was the most trusted online news media outlet among users in Malaysia, with ** percent of respondents indicating that they trusted this source. This was followed by Berita Harian and Bernama.com.
