Trust and the media
Since then, society has become so insecure that it no longer “trusts” what were the traditional sources of information that media once represented. In the U.S., this has resulted in media “splitting” into policy advocacy organizations whose primary interests may seem to be reporting “fact” but whose true intent is to either embellish or refute the event’s result. Unfortunately, the metamorphosis of this struggle over news bias has resulted in the more right-wing of such media sources increasingly utilizing children and women’s role in formulating our future societies as examples of how far the progressive movement has strayed from traditional reporting. Given such counterproductive collisions within our society, I believe that we have to reestablish our “trust” in our traditional media sources. The two stories to which I originally referred by my having viewed them on CBC I only hope will start this debate.
