Can You Trust The Media?
Op-Ed
Why Should We Trust Storytellers? | Adrian Monck | The Guardian
Reviews
Monck’s new book, Can You Trust the Media?, written with Mike Hanley, rips what they call the culture’s “trust obsession.” Beware the newspapers, magazines, TV news operations, and other media institutions that crave the audience’s trust, they counsel. It’s just a con they’re running so they can sell your eyeballs to advertisers. Likewise, spurn those who pine for more “trustworthy” media institutions. Individual reporters and columnists may be trustworthy, but the only dependable way to tame the public’s doubts is to give them access to the raw data from which journalism is produced.
