How can journalism regain public faith?

Free entrance - Registration

On Tuesday, September 12th 2017, 12:00 pm, Oikomedia and Hostwriter, invite you to Impact Hub Athens (Karaiskaki 28, 10554 Athens) for an event to answer: How can journalism regain public faith?

"Fake News", "Liar’s Press", "State Propaganda"

Never has the press been challenged by public suspicion and distrust as as much as in recent years. Trust ratings in the media are at an all-time low, with global audiences increasingly placing their trust in friends and internet algorithms over traditional media. Bridging divisions in democratic societies through information is becoming more and more of a Sisyphean task. Are labels like „dishonest media“ driven purely by political games, or are journalists also to blame for flailing confidence from growing parts of the public? When is taking a stance justified or even necessary as a journalist and when does it harm the credibility of a reporter? Are journalists players or referees in the game of democracy?
