Survey: Croatian citizens trust journalists more than politicians

Croatians’ public’s confidence in journalists is lower than in priests, but higher than in judges, bankers and politicians, according to a survey conducted by the Investigative Journalism Laboratory (Jourlab) of the University of Zagreb Faculty of Political Science.

The general population has the greatest confidence in nurses (82.1%), ahead of doctors, scientists, soldiers, teachers, police officers and priests, the survey revealed. 

Placed at the bottom of the ranking are “politicians in general”, who are trusted by 6% of those polled. At the same time, cabinet ministers are distrusted by 71.8% and politicians by as many as 74.8% of respondents.
