AB  - The  aim  of  this  article  is  to  analyze  the  relationship  between  trust  in  the  me-dia—both traditional and digital—and trust in institutions. Using data from the 2016 Eurobarometer  and statistical  models  such  as  Multiple  Correspondence  Analysis  (MCA), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and multilevel regression, the study exa-mines how media trust and usage relate to institutional trust, controlling for sociode-mographic variables. The findings confirm that trust in traditional media (print, radio, and television) is associated with higher levels of institutional trust. In contrast, trust in digital media (social networks sites and online platforms) shows a weaker and sometimes negative correlation. This dynamic may stem from the coexistence of credible journalism, disinformation, and echo chambers in a networked communication context, reflecting the complexities of a hybrid media system that can erode institu-tional trust. Recognizing the interplay between media types, the study underscores the importance of media literacy and regulatory frameworks for digital platforms to foster trust in democratic institutions.
