Journalists need<\/a> to show humility and get off X to restore public trust, a media veteran advised.<\/p>\n

Politico and Axios co-founder Jim VandeHei appeared on “CNN This Morning” to promote his book “Just the Good Stuff” on Thursday. During his segment, host Kasie Hunt brought up an Associated Press poll<\/a> that found 53% of Americans were “extremely” or “very” concerned about media outlets spreading “inaccurate information” or “disinformation.” The poll also found only 14% of voters expressed a “great deal of trust” in mainstream media.<\/p>\n

When Hunt asked VanderHei what can be done about the lack of trust<\/a> in journalism, he admitted that reporters share some of the blame.<\/p>\n

“I think us in the media, we have to be a little more humble. And we have to realize our job is to be clinical in delivering the information. Try to get to the closest approximation of the truth. If we screw it up, be humble enough to admit it and maybe get off Twitter and maybe stop popping off in ways that make people distrust the work that you do,” he said.<\/p>\n

VanderHei added, “I\u2018ve dedicated my life to trying to get to the closest approximation of the truth. And you have a lot of forces out there that have tried to diminish the work that we do. And, quite frankly, I think there\u2018s things that people in the media have done to diminish some of the work that we do. But I always tell people, you better step back and be careful with what you\u2018re playing with here because you\u2018re playing with fire.”<\/p>\n

“I\u2018m saddened by it, the fact that so many people don\u2018t trust what we do,” he lamented.<\/p>\n

A Gallup poll<\/a> in 2023 found that only 32% of Americans have “a great deal” or “a fair amount” of trust in mainstream media, Gallup\u2019s lowest reported number since 2016.<\/p>\n

The poll also found that 29% of Americans reported “not very much” trust in the news<\/a> with a record number of 39% saying they had “none at all.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the segment, VanderHei also warned about the dangerous impact a lack of trust in the media could have on society.<\/p>\n

“If we suddenly have a country that trusts nothing, and there\u2018s no sources of common truth, it\u2018s going to be really hard to govern. It\u2018s gonna be really hard to avoid protests and know what\u2018s really happening on these campuses,” he said. “And if you look back at the history of the country, a free press is such an awesome, distinctive, needed, necessary, vital piece of this awesome country. And that\u2018s how we know so much of what\u2018s happening. It\u2019s how we expose so much malfeasance.”<\/p>\n
