Trusting information and your sources: Young Danes, social media, and questions of trust

This paper focuses on young Danes’ trust or distrust in mediated information, with a focus on the role of social media. The profound changes in information and debate practices are important. Societal reference points are increasingly missing and young people develop their own information and debate practices by using available digital, mainly social media, while still including traditional media and f2f encounters in their information and debate repertoire.
