Peruvians trust more in the internet than any other means of communication, revealed a study done by the University of Lima Public Opinion Group.

Surveys showed that over 55 percent of those that participated stated they trusted most in the information found on the Internet.

When asked about radio and television, 54.8 percent of participants said a reliable source of information was the radio while 45.9 percent of people stated that they trusted in data seen on television.

The lowest ranking mean of communication was newspapers.

Only 39.8 percent of the participants polled in Lima and Callao said they believed in the information in Peru's newspapers.

The University of Lima annual study was carried out in the region of Lima and in the province of Callao.

Limeans and "Chalacos", or people from Callao, from 31 of the country's districts were surveyed.

The study also showed that over 15 percent of people in Lima surf the Internet to read the news and gather political information.
