Trust is a central part of RTÉ's relationship with its audience. The word is right there on its website, which states that the broadcaster's mission is to nurture trust by being fair and open about the decisions it makes, and that it is accountable to the public.

In Ireland, the report is funded by Coimisiún na Meán, with analysis from academics at Dublin City University.
