SUMMARY The purpose of this research was to establish the habits of journalism students in informing and selecting the media through which they will be informed, and finally to see what confidence the media is currently in. In addition, it was to be checked whether non-profit media and social networks were used for information or that part was actually neglected. The survey was conducted using a questionnaire consisting of 20 questions, and was conducted on a sample of 86 respondents at the Faculty of Political Science in Zagreb. The target groups were both women and men, but from the first and third years of undergraduate journalism studies and the second year of graduate study in journalism. Five hypotheses were put together, two of which were confirmed and denied, while one was partially confirmed. Based on the research conducted, it was found that respondents most frequently use the Internet news portals to obtain the informations but have very little confidence in them. They have the most trust in television and print media. Given that the survey was conducted on a suitable sample, the results can not be generalized to the entire population of journalism students but can serve as a guide for further research in this area.
