When the question was how much the loss of the local paper would hurt civic life, sentiments were somewhat more favorable, with 74 percent of respondents saying “a lot” or “some.” Interestingly, the numbers weren’t all that much lower among those who described themselves as infrequent newspaper readers, with 30 percent of that group saying the disappearance of the local newspaper would hurt civic life a lot, and 36 percent saying there’d be some impact.

A good validation for the low level of trust (19%). The survey shows that there is a high level of trust for 'quality journalism' (66%-90%). The article fails to draw the obvious conclusion that leads to 19% result.
