Abstract

Trusting News is a nonprofit organization that helps journalists and the public understand each other, training newsrooms to demonstrate their credibility and earn the trust of the people they serve. Founded in 2016 by Joy Mayer, the organization coaches thousands of journalists each year, providing actionable strategies to change how they do their work day to day. This book explores the roots of the public's distrust of journalism, from perceptions of political and financial bias to concerns about carelessness and irrelevance, and presents the practical approaches Trusting News has developed to help newsrooms rebuild their relationship with audiences through transparency, curiosity, and humility.
