Trusting News, a project aimed at empowering journalists
to earn consumers’ trust, is adding research
and training support from a partnership with the University of Georgia Grady
College of Journalism and Mass Communication.
The Trusting News project, which was founded
at the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the University of Missouri
Engagement strategist Joy Mayer, who founded
the project, is preparing to share the latest round of findings this fall at TrustingNews.org and
to train more newsrooms in how to earn trust with the help of the Grady College
Faculty members will recruit newsrooms in the
Southeast to participate and train them on how to implement Trusting News
strategies, says Charles Davis, dean of Grady College
The college will also provide researchers and
resources with the goal of producing at least one research study a year, he
says.
"I'm thrilled that our journalism faculty
will be part of Trusting News,” adds Janice Hume, head of the journalism
department at Grady.
The Trusting News project is also supported by
the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and Democracy Fund.
