What do Canadians want from their news?

The Max Bell School of Public Policy commissioned a study examining whether or not there are significant differences in what facts Canadians believe, what media types they consume, and how much Canadians trust traditional media sources, compared to new ones. The research revealed that Canadians are divided on some issues by media consumption. However, Canadians do share a common set of facts about core political issues and Canadians broadly trust traditional news organizations. Canadians are also skeptical about government support for media organizations. The study was executed by the Loewen Lab at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. It was conducted online using a sample provided by Qualtrics in September 2018. There were 2,245 English Canadian respondents, including English-speakers in Quebec and 452 French Quebecers.
