@TaliaStroud @mayerjoy @AshleyAlvarado @journethics "The question of earning & building trust starts with identifying what is blocking trust" says @mayerjoy "...There are people who think we don't care about getting it right" so news orgs need to explain their processes better #ONA19 #ONA19FightMisinfo

@TaliaStroud @mayerjoy @AshleyAlvarado @journethics .@TaliaStroud has six tips for building trust:

1) Understand why people don't trust
2) Invite the community in
3) Ask people what they need
4) Be public facing about it
5) Go where you haven't spent time
6) Assess whether it works
