The Threshold of Truth
In a polarized media landscape, journalism is torn between objective reporting and rising demands for advocacy. A 2023 Knight Foundation/Gallup poll found that only 9% of Americans see little political bias in the news, with Edelman reporting that 59% believe journalists intentionally mislead to advance agendas. As audiences seek truth and impact, where should media draw the line, and how can it rebuild trust without losing relevance?
