SUMMARY: HLS Beyond Presents: Vibes Matter – What Makes us Trust the News?
DESCRIPTION: The news industry has two primary tasks: Accurately report wha
 t’s going on and present that info in a way that reaches people. It’s been 
 failing at the latter — as of 2024\, more people say they deeply distrust t
 he media than trust it\, and audiences are moving from traditional outlets 
 to social platforms and individual creators. Ben Reininga\, former Head of 
 Editorial at Snapchat and 2024/5 Nieman & Berkman-Klein fellow is researchi
 ng what makes users trust news videos — with the hope of providing more ins
 ight and tools to news publishers to help them connect with users.
