Public Opinion of the media

I have just watched an ITN bulletin at 6.30pm which suggests that many people now regard the Internet as more trustworthy than the media. This is dangerous because many of the blogs that are out there are not necessarily well researched or informative like the traditional media. Although they allow average Joes like you and me to sound off on any topic we like they do not necessarily educate us in the way that the BBC News does. It is important to remember that the media is heavily regulated by industry bodies whereas the Internet is not. The Internet is definitely the future so something needs to be done.
