A new survey commissioned by i24NEWS and conducted by the "Shiluv" institute has found the news channel to be the most credible and balanced among Israeli television news outlets. The poll, which surveyed 501 respondents via the iPanel online platform, indicates that viewers perceive i24NEWS as the leading source for reliable and impartial news.
i24NEWS achieved the highest average credibility score of 6.4 out of 10, surpassing all other major Israeli news channels. Kan 11 came in second, followed by Keshet 12 in third, Reshet 13 in fourth, and Channel 14 ranked last as the least credible.
The survey also revealed i24NEWS's broad appeal across the political spectrum, scoring well with both right-wing (6.6) and left-wing (5.2) voters. In contrast, other channels were perceived as more credible primarily by their aligned political camps. For example, Keshet and Reshet received lower scores from right-wing viewers (4.3 and 4.2 respectively) compared to left-wing viewers (7.6 and 7.3). Channel 14 was rated lowest overall, with left-wing voters giving it a score of 1.7 and right-wing voters giving it 5.9.
This finding follows a recent extensive campaign by i24NEWS titled "The Only News Channel in Israel," which emphasized its exclusive focus on news, balance, and the inclusion of guests from across the political spectrum. The channel is preparing for a large-scale election broadcast next week, covering events from its studio and dozens of locations nationwide, with special election results revealed at 10 PM on election day, hosted by Miri Michaeli alongside a team of correspondents and analysts.
