Blog: Personalized News Communication and Media Trust in the Modern Era

I was recently quoted in Dr. Kirsten Johnson and Dr. Burton St. John III's newly published book, Personalized News Communication and Media Trust in the Modern Era.

I shared my perspectives on news personalization, transparency in reporting, and building trust with communities. Some of the topics I discussed:

• How news personalization is shifting our approach to audience engagement
• The importance of journalists' identities being represented in newsrooms
• Why transparency and "showing your cards" matters more than ever
• Navigating professional boundaries on social media as an early-career journalist

I'm grateful to Dr. Johnson for including my voice in this book exploring how we can rebuild trust with audiences while adapting to our changing media landscape. The book examines media credibility as it relates to news personalization and offers strategies for organizations to restore trust with their audiences, topics that are especially relevant as individuals increasingly determine their own news sources.
