Trust in institutions that are key to the functioning of democracy has fallen steadily in Peru and Latin America, including trust in the media. While it has been discussed how distrust in the press can affect political institutions and values, so far we know very little about the impact that distrust in the press can have on one of the pillars of the democratic system: the elections. To fill this gap, this research studies the effect that trust in the traditional media has on the perception of electoral transparency and trust in electoral bodies. With data corresponding to Peru's general elections in 2021, this paper presents two valuable contributions to the discussion on the relationship between the press and electoral processes: on the one hand, we conclude that trust in the press has a significant effect on the perception of electoral integrity, independently of trust in other institutions linked to elections. On the other hand, this paper argues that the particular political and media events of the 2021 elections, especially the unjustified accusations of electoral fraud, contributed to this relationship changing in a short period of time.
