How can media gain back lost trust?

from God Forbid Hosted by Australian Broadcasting Corporation

The world has trust issues with its media. Three in five Australians trust TV and radio news, and what's in the newspapers. But in North America it is fewer than three in ten. Are we doing something better here, OR are we just a decade behind them? Is it an economic problem? After all, ownership of our media has been contracting to just a few players. That alone has had some huge implications for the quality of news and who it speaks to. The online podcast world has arguably meant a democratisation of the way people are finding their news. How can lost trust in media be regained? GUESTS: Tara Henley, Canadian journalist, broadcaster and author of "The Trust Spiral" Jonathan Holmes, journalist, writer, former ABC TV presenter and broadcaster Scott Mitchell, former ABC journalist and now co host of the podcast "Lamestream" This program was recorded on the lands of the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation
