Abstract

Against the background of today’s rapid development of information technology and extensive use of media, social opinion is greatly influenced. The level of political trust among Chinese youth is related to political and social stability and long-term development, so it is of great significance to study how media use affects youth political trust. This study utilizes data from the 2019 Chinese Internet Users’ Social Cognition Survey to explore the relationship between media use and youth political trust. The study finds that Chinese youth generally access current affairs news with high frequency, and their level of political trust is correspondingly high. There is a significant positive relationship between trust in domestic and foreign media and Chinese youth political trust, and trust in foreign media does not weaken youth political trust. Based on the results of this study, targeted recommendations are proposed to improve Chinese youth’s political trust. This study provides valuable insights for improving youth political trust.
