Key patterns have affected the information market lately, prodded by innovation advancements, information commoditization and data accessibility, and changes in data utilization modalities. These trends have a potential huge impact on the trust in statistical information provided by public authorities. The main argument in favour of considering statistical data as a public good is that is provides neutral, empirically sound, evidence to all citizens that can be used to make informed decisions and educated choices. By removing information asymmetries, which would lead to sub-optimal processes, information can lead to knowledge which in turn could benefit society at large. This paper deals with the challenges for official statistics of changes in the information market spurred by network technology, data revolution and changes in information consumers' behaviours. It shows that the challenge for statistical organizations is to address the reputational risks from the post-truth ecosystem, which could lead to permanent damages to trust in official statistics. To harness the power of data statistical organizations need to change: by embracing the data revolution and empowering users to benefit from information and knowledge services. This requires investment in modern communication, data literacy and users-oriented statistical products.
