AFP’s Post

The key takeaway for me in this piece is when ⁦MSNBC hosts started providing context with the background of Israel’s occupation of Palestine after Oct. 7th attack of Hamas, this particular method of news reporting was denounced. In this era of #misinformation and #fakenews it is more important than ever to provide fair context to each story, not sure if just reporting the news without any context is enough, more so with new generation who value analysis/commentary more than just vanilla reporting. #NewsReporting #Journalism #NYT ##NBCNews # PrintMedia

Can the news media regain the trust of the public? The declining trust in the news media and polarization of news audiences have profound effects on our society as a whole. I asked News analyst and journalist Joy Reid, host of the ReidOut on MSNBC, how did we get here, and if she thought that trust could be restored. Her insight is both fascinating and troubling. An interesting footnote is that the most trusted news source is The Weather Channel according to YouGov, a global public opinion and data company based in the U.K. What are your thoughts on the state of media trust?
