Se ries Theme: Media is at a crossroads. Full-time journalists and lo ng-form reporting have been forced to cede public space to click bait news articles\, online echo chambers\, and disinformation campaigns. It has neve r been more challenging to inform the public\, to bridge political divides\ , and to stimulate healthy debate.
Yet trust in mass media has never been lower\, with only 9% of Ameri cans trusting the media “a great deal” and 60% having “little to no trust a t all.” From the rise of social media to the erosion of traditional busines s models to the deep political polarization in American society\, how we as citizens consume information has fundamentally changed.
This series explores these changes\, but more importantly asks where we go from here. How can we restore trust? How do we reconcile evidence-based reporting with the digital age? And above all\, h ow can we reshape the media landscape in the face of these challenges to be tter society?
