Drawing on the latest international and local research, he explores the social, economic and political shifts that have eroded public confidence in journalism. From financial pressures and ideological divides, to a perceived lack of transparency and the rise of misinformation, How to Rebuild Trust in Journalism examines how journalism’s role has been questioned – and what can be done to restore its standing.
