Abstract
Media experts offer plenty of evidence but few answers for the ongoing erosion of public confidence in news. Quick take:
- Experts at the recent East-West Center International Media Conference admitted the problem now seems intractable.
- ‘Good journalism’ isn’t always enough, with some respected news sources receiving low trust scores after receiving political attacks.
- Many people feel the news is not made for them, according to studies. This including those who mistrust the media as a part of their political identity and connect with others who feel the same way.
- Exposing misinformation is one part of the battle, panelists said, but journalists also need to understand why people consume it.
