N2 - The paper contributes to the study of institutional trust by making a connection to“cultural backlash” theory and analyzing more recent forms of news consumption.We examine how trust in politics, media, and science is shaped by “cultural backlash”and media use in nine European countries. We employ representative survey datacollected in 2021 in Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, the Netherlands, Serbia,Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom as part of a large European researchproject. The results suggest that both exogenous (or “cultural”) and endogenous (or“institutional”) dimensions of cultural backlash matter for explaining institutional trust. Trust benefits from progressive–liberal values and less ideological extremism, but is hindered by discontentment with societal developments and political disengagement. Using public television is positively, and social media negatively associated with trust. While we find distinctions across institutions, there is huge consistency across countries.
