Listening to your audience, providing quality information and using right platforms to reach your readers are all important steps to rebuild trust in reporting
With a huge amount of information being published and discussed during the pandemic, audiences increasingly distrust traditional media to report accurately on covid-19.

"Building relationships, securing subscriptions and attracting event attendance requires more of a commitment from audience members and tends to bring a higher rate of return. More importantly, publishers and journalists should listen to their readers and do something more akin to service journalism to best engage and serve the audience," he writes.
