Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes is calling on fellow elected officials, beginning with Kentucky constitutional officers and members of the General Assembly, to help restore trust in public institutions after a recent report on Kentucky’s civic health shows trust in media in the Commonwealth at an all-time low. Grimes said the years-long decline in Kentuckians’ confidence in news and media is caused by the peddling of fake information. Overall, Kentucky ranks 48th in the nation, ahead of New Mexico, Montana, and Utah, for public confidence in media.
