Reputation[edit]

The Philippine Daily Inquirer is considered as one of the trusted news sources among Filipinos in 2022, with a trust rating of 65% according to the Reuters Institute.[13] In the 2023 Digital News Report by Reuters Institute, the trust rating rose to 68%; making it one of the most trusted broadsheets in the country.[14] The same study also cites the Inquirer, with a weekly reach for print of 28% with 13% reaching users at least 3 days a week; which makes it the most read broadsheet in the country. In terms of online reach, 36% of people in the survey read the online edition with 20% reading the paper at least 3 days a week, ranking third, next to GMA and ABS-CBN.


At least two opinion pieces cite the Inquirer as the Philippines' newspaper of record, but as an opportunity for criticism: The Manila Times criticized it for "publish[ing] ... vapid, unthinking positions" which it called "reprehensible, at best";[15] GMA News, in 2014, noted it as a "de facto paper of record", followed by "This distinguished history only makes it more painful to say that the paper is starting to suck".[16]
