The report is based on an online survey of 33,000 respondents carried out in 27 markets in October and November 2018

Over the past year, there has been a modest rise in trust levels across the world, noted the 19th Annual Edelman Trust Barometer.
 
As seen in Chart 1, trust in NGOs, business, government and media by the informed public as well as the general population rose over the past year, though the gap between these two segments surged to record highs.
 
However, despite this rise, trust in government and media continued to remain low as seen in Chart 2.
