A 2021 Edelman study revealed that 58% think that most news organizations are more concerned with supporting an ideology or political position than with informing the public.

Annie can discuss how the future of journalism is changing, what responsibilities platforms have regarding the content they publish, and how new forms of media will help increase public trust in journalism.
