Multiple studies are finding that trust in central governments and their institutions (including the establishment media) is at an all-time low around the world.

“When people feel ignored, unheard and unrepresented they turn to alternative sources of information. If governments do not communicate with citizens properly, citizens will go somewhere elsewhere for information,” the report says.
