CNN Director General Mark Thompson said he did not trust “mass media,” stating his instinct as a journalist who would examine everything.
“I think I’d rather have an audience testing from a harmonized audience that is a kind of differentiation of the media,” Thompson said. .
However, as far as people trust, Thompson insisted on the CNN’s solution “remain true” in their decades-long stamps as the center for the news and “trying to be very difficult”, not an opinion on opinion.
New York Times Executive editor Joe Kahn said in one way that his work seeks trust is to know the “personality” of his journalists with the camera or podcast to discuss their reporting and the newspaper process. He shrugged with shoulder surveys that broadly show growing distrust in the media, insisting that the data was “quite wrong.”
Semafor’s Ben Smith, a former columnist, asked Kahn if he felt the need to seek conservative journalists because the editorial office “around like a liberal as you would expect.”
“I don’t really think about how I go out and hire conservatives to think about how I go out and hire Liberals,” Kahn replied. “I want to hire more people who come from different geographies, different personal experiences, different schools, are you actually, whether you are in fact that you are in fact a different perspective on the news. We should have variety.”
“It’s not the same thing like I’ll go out and look for someone who voted for Trump and put them on my staff. As a rare, I don’t think that’s exactly the right incentive,” he added an accurate incentive.

NBCUNIVERSALL NEWS Groups Chairman Cesar Conde proposed a solution to combat distrust media investment in local media.
“The fundamental force of democracy is a strong and free and independent press. And the backbone of our media industry is our local stations,” Conde said. “So, as a broadcast network, our local TV stations. We have a huge print in the local TV and not only for the construction of trust, but also for reporting. There are so many news that are due to local news and then become national importance.”

Executive Director e.g. Katherine Maher turned the tables and called on the media to “believe your audience.”
“We are constantly talking about how to ensure that we believe. You actually trust your audience. They are smart people,” Maher said. “You know, that was one of the things we learned in Wikimedia, show our work, be very clear where we got information that is that audience. In NPR, I think our goal is not believed.”
She explained, “Like someone who didn’t go through journalism, he’s really out of the pretty self-regulating industry. They don’t know how to regulate the story. It’s not too much to rely on Wikipedia, but as if 90% of people don’t check the quotes. It’s a fact that it’s reliability. It is reliability.

Fox News Main political anchor Bret Baier said that his approach to journalism is “difficult, but the removal of” emotions “from reporting plays a key role in achieving trust among Americans.
“What I think more people need to do, and what I am trying to do and try to do is get out of the emotion from that, to draw an emotion from the news coverage,” Baier said. “And I think it was a problem over time and that some people got emotionally about it and lost half the audience.”

Tucker emphasized that journalists of her newspapers are “observers, not participants” and asked them to “check their biases” so that their personal views do not affect their reporting.
He also placed emphasis on to “radically focused on the audience”.
“Don’t think about what they will think about? Or will I win this to the prize?” What can’t be useful for readers? “What do we tell them they don’t know they don’t know they don’t know they don’t know their value?” Tucker said. “And I think the fourth thing I said about not afraid of what you will publish, where he can’t fight from it, but I think it’s really important to do it.” You come to each piece individually. ”
“I mean, a good example that was Biden Age Story we did“” She continued. “Some of my colleagues in New York warned me to bring it to – have a pretty strong reaction. I have no idea how strong, but anyway, I didn’t stop thinking about it because it was an important piece of journalism, and we posted it as us.”
