Building Media Trust

Journalism is facing a crisis of trust. Disinformation, political manipulation, “news deserts”, and the decline of independent media threaten access to quality information. Building Media Trust examines this global challenge and presents tangible solutions—from fostering stronger community engagement with local media to the impact of regulation and transparency in journalism. Featuring case studies from Europe, Latin and North America, and Africa, this book outlines pathways to rebuilding a more resilient and trustworthy media ecosystem.
