Trust in “the media” is low and in some cases, there may be good reason for that. But, you’re part of “the media” too, right? And you produce honest, ethical, trustworthy content, right? Learn how to differentiate your journalism from the rest and build trust in the process.

This is part of a five-part series created for ONA20 Everywhere by Trusting News, a nonprofit research and training project that empowers journalists to demonstrate credibility and earn trust. You can watch all five parts now here! The series can be watched in any order, and none of the videos are longer than five minutes. While the series uses the lens of political coverage to share why and how to defend your journalism, the concepts shared are applicable to any area of reporting
