"Trust in the news media is low, and Donald Trump's unfair cries of fake news and his efforts to depict journalists as enemies of the people have taken their toll. So too have the discouraging moves made this year by storied news organizations such as the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times and CBS News, where commercial interests or pro-Trump politics are affecting the journalism."
"First, the Guardian is fair and cares about accuracy, but it doesn't tie itself in knots to treat a would-be authoritarian such as President Trump like a perfectly normal politician. I see a lot of that normalization elsewhere, but far less of it at the Guardian. I also find the Guardian more obviously mission-driven than a lot of other news organizations. Journalists at the Guardian, including top editors and leadership, seem to understand that the press has an important role"
Public trust in news media has declined amid repeated accusations of 'fake news' and instances where commercial interests or political sympathies have compromised reporting. Some major outlets have tilted toward normalizing or accommodating political power instead of holding it accountable. The Guardian maintains a reputation for fairness, accuracy, and a mission-driven approach, avoiding normalization of authoritarian figures and emphasizing accountability. The Guardian attracts positive regard from civic-minded citizens and poll workers because its journalists and leadership recognize the press's role in supporting democracy and community engagement.
