In recent years we have seen a dramatic decrease in trust in societal institutions including traditional news media, government, science, and academia. At the same time, we’re facing a barrage of online misinformation and new technology that undermines our ability to confidently tell truth from fiction. More than ever, we need to rebuild trust in authoritative information sources to allow good information to rise above the noise. Researchers from the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public (CIP) will lead a conversation aimed at understanding current causes of distrust and routes to rebuilding public trust in authoritative information providers.
