RNZ and the Otago Daily Times were considered the most trustworthy news providers, and a five year decline appears to be ending.

The "Trust in News in Aotearoa New Zealand" report indicates that the significant decline in trust towards the news media, which began in 2021, has now stabilized. The report, based on a survey of 1000 New Zealanders, shows that trust levels have not dropped further since the last survey in 2022. Key findings include a slight increase in trust among older demographics, while younger people continue to show lower trust levels. The report also highlights that trust in news varies significantly depending on the source, with public media like RNZ and TVNZ enjoying higher trust compared to other outlets. Additionally, the report notes that the perception of news media as divisive has contributed to the erosion of trust, although efforts to address misinformation and improve journalistic standards may be starting to have a positive impact.
