Public and News Media: A Love, Hate Relationship
This is worth a read:
Pew Research Center survey has shown the public to be broadly critical of the press, yet still favorable in its overall view of news organizations themselves. In fact, the public has long been two-minded in its views of the news media faulting the press in a variety of ways, while still valuing the news and appreciating the product of news outlets.
Thanks to Francisco Seoane for the pointer to this new survey. In about two hours I will be making a public lecture on public and citizen journalism at the CIESPAL in Quito, Ecuador.
