Can Media Build the "Trust" in the Digital Society: Thinking through the "Trust Indicators"
In contrast to the rapid growth of platform companies as 'rulers' of the network space, newspapers, television and other old media have long been suffering to be in decline. In this digital age, attempts have begun around the world to 'rate and evaluate' various media based on certain indicators as a new method of building 'trust' with readers and viewers. In this symposium, we will discuss "How is it possible to build 'trust'?" from multiple perspectives, based on the question of "Why have these indicators been adopted?", while learning from practical examples from overseas initiatives.
Due to the time differences between Japan, the UK and the US, this event will be published publicly as an archived video afterward. You can share your comments or questions with our speakers via the 'Registration Form' below. They will be discussed during the panel discussion.

・Sally Lehrman found and leads "The trust project", an international collaboration that created the first transparency standard to strengthen public confidence in the news through accountability and transparency. Together with major news organizations to form the consortium, it proposed a set of eight "trust indicators" to oversee and scale among the newsrooms around the world. More than 100 online news platforms are adopting this digital standard.
・Benjamin Toff leads the "Trust in News project" that focuses on research related to issues around public trust in digital news and publishes regular research reports. Its goal is to understand what drives trust for audiences in different contexts and propose evidence-based recommendations for publishers and platforms. The project also conducts international comparative research.
