S5E10: Predicting the Future

Moves by respected news organizations to be transparent in their reporting may become meaningless to consumers bombarded by such claims. This could even lead to what is being called “Trust Washing,” where claims of being a trusted news source are used by people spreading misinformation. This is just one of the predictions in a recent major report by the organization the DPP. In this episode of the Making the Media Podcast, Edward Qualtrough, the DPP’s editorial director, discusses their 2025 Predictions Report.
