The
level of public faith in Israeli journalists is at its lowest level in 15
years, according to a University of Haifa and Ben-Gurion University of the
Negev study carried out before the US presidential elections.
Going
into the types of media, the study found that the credibility of Army Radio was
relatively very high at 3.26, compared to 2.86 for journalists at Channels 2
and 10. But in general, there is a decline of credibility for all Israeli
journalists – even though the average level remains at moderate and moderately
high levels compared to other sectors. “It seems that the Israeli media still
enjoy credibility among the public,” they concluded.
Prof.
Shlomo Mizrahi
of the Department
of Public Policy and Administration of the Guilford Glazer Faculty
of Business and Management at BGU is part of the joint research team from
Haifa University and BGU, studying the credibility of a variety of public
–sector institutions. Their research has been carried out jointly since 2002.
