Study Links Media and Court Distrust to Democratic Decline
Recent academic findings indicate that a loss of public confidence in journalism and the judiciary often serves as a precursor to the erosion of democratic systems.

Researchers emphasize that identifying the early warning signs of democratic erosion remains notoriously difficult. However, institutional skepticism appears to be a critical indicator that warrants close observation by political analysts.
