How is news reported in Scotland — and can we trust it?

In this episode of The Thistle & Dram, we explore the Scottish media landscape and the growing questions around trust, bias, and influence.

We discuss:

• How news is reported across Scotland
• Differences between Scottish and UK-wide media
• The decline of trust in traditional outlets
• The rise of social media as a news source
• What’s missing from today’s conversations

This episode goes beyond headlines — and asks how media shapes not just what we know, but how we think.
