Why societal change and technology may be key to Americans regaining trust in the news media
""We have to do something radically different. Millions of people get their news and information from people that are actually giving opinion. We've got to focus on, in this modern media world, separating those two things again.""
""I think technology is going to play a massive role in restoring trust in what's happening.""
""I envision something like 'Uber for the news business,' such that reporters are paid for newsgathering and the information of facts is available to consumers as something like a utility.""
Experts suggest that the future of news media in the U.S. is not hopeless, but requires innovative approaches. Chris Licht emphasizes the need to separate news from opinion to regain trust. He proposes a model akin to 'Uber for news,' where reporters are compensated for gathering facts, making information accessible like a utility. Technology is seen as crucial in rebuilding trust. Additionally, Gen Z's unique news consumption patterns are expected to influence the industry's evolution significantly.
