Every year, the SOM Institute at the University of Gothenburg examines the Swedish people's views on politics, lifestyle and the media.
On Wednesday, this year's new survey of Swedes' media confidence was presented.
- News in the Swedish media is generally perceived as very reliable, says Ulrika Andersson, media researcher at the SOM Institute during a presentation of the survey.
Public service is, like last year, at the top.
About 75 percent who responded say that they have high confidence in SVT and Swedish Radio's content.
Right-wing voters trust the impartiality of the news less
Despite the fact that confidence in the Swedish media remains stable, there is still some uncertainty as to whether the Swedish media's news coverage is completely politically impartial.
Especially among those who vote for parties such as the Moderates, the Sweden Democrats and the Christian Democrats, the SOM Institute's measurements show.
- Depending on what you address and which subject areas you choose to focus on, you can of course perceive the content differently depending on who you are and where you stand ideologically, says Ulrika Andersson.
About half of the right-wing voters state that they do not trust that the news is politically impartial.
Even among those who vote for the Social Democrats, the Left Party and the Green Party, a little more than a third are unsure of the impartiality of the news.
Neither mostly to the right nor to the left
On the other hand, there is no general perception of the direction in which Swedish media's news reporting tends to move most politically.
The vast majority state that they do not perceive whether the media is leaning more in a certain direction.
It is clearest that approximately every sixth person perceives Aftonbladet as clearly on the left and Svenska Dagbladet clearly on the right.
Every tenth person perceives that SVT is clearly on the left.
