TeamsOnly 36% of Americans have either a “great deal” or “fair amount” of trust in mass media, according to a 2021 Gallup poll. Meanwhile, 22% of journalists say trust in their area of coverage has decreased, according to Muck Rack’s 2022 State of Journalism Report. During this panel, we will discuss how communicators and reporters can work together to maintain and regain audience trust. You’ll hear about:

- Strategies for communicators to help media outlets preserve their vital role as the source of checks and balances to those in power
- How communicators verify which stories they pitch across newer platforms and outlets
