  A 2020 Reuters Institute independent survey of 15 media outlets found that 73% of Singaporean respondents trusted reporting from The Straits Times, the second highest rating next to Channel NewsAsia (CNA), a local TV news channel.
  
  The Wikipedia community has included The Straits Times under its "no consensus, unclear, or additional considerations apply" source category, with its entry on Reliable sources/Perennial sources stating that "given known practices of self-censorship and political meddling into coverage, news related to Singapore politics, particularly for contentious claims, should be taken with a grain of salt".
