> “The informed public – wealthier, more educated, and frequent consumers of news – remain far more trusting of every institution than the mass population. > “In a majority of markets, less than half of the mass population trust their institutions to do what is right. > Trust levels among the informed public in Australia were at 68 per cent, far higher than the 45 per cent recorded among the mass population.
