A Skeptical Public   

In addition to the questions it asks annually about attitudes regarding the First Amendment, the First Amendment Center/AJR State of the First Amendment Survey this year sought to gauge public sentiment about a number of journalism issues, including the recent spate of high-profile instances of plagiarism and fabrication. The findings, which were not released with the rest of the poll's results before the July 4th weekend, are included below. The entire poll can be found online here.
