Resumo

O presente artigo tem como finalidade analisar a relação entre a confiança nos media – tradicionais e digitais – e a confiança nas instituições. Utilizando dados do Eurobarómetro de 2016, e através de modelos estatísticos como ACM, ACP e regressão multinível, foram examinados os impactos do uso de media na confiança institucional, controlando variáveis sociodemográficas. Os resultados confirmam a hipótese de que a confiança nos media tradicionais (imprensa escrita, rádio e televisão) está positivamente associada a níveis mais elevados de confiança nas instituições. Por outro lado, a confiança nos media digitais (redes sociais e plataformas online) apresenta uma correlação significativamente mais fraca, e em alguns casos, negativa. Este efeito é amplificado pela disseminação de desinformação e pela criação de "bolhas de informação" nos meios digitais, o que contribui para a erosão da confiança institucional. O estudo destaca a necessidade de promover a literacia mediática e de fortalecer a regulação das plataformas digitais para mitigar os impactos negativos na confiança institucional.
