Abstract

Abstract Is public trust in the news media in decline? So polls seem to indicate. But the decline goes back to the early 1970s, and it may be that “trust” in the media at that point was too high for the good of a journalism trying to serve democracy. And “the media” is a very recent (1970s) notion popularized by some because it sounded more abstract and distant than a familiar term like “the press.” It may even be that people answering a pollster are not trying to report accurately their level of trust but are acting politically to align themselves with their favored party's perceived critique of the media. This essay tries to reach a deeper understanding of what gives rise to faith or skepticism in various cultural authorities, including journalism.

“媒体信任”是什么意思?

摘要公众对新闻媒体的信任度在下降吗？民意调查似乎表明了这一点。但这种下降可以追溯到20世纪70年代初，可能是当时对媒体的“信任”太高，不利于试图为民主服务的新闻业。“媒体”是一个最近（20世纪70年代）被一些人普及的概念，因为它听起来比“媒体”这样熟悉的术语更抽象、更遥远。甚至可能是，回答民意调查的人并没有试图准确地报告他们的信任程度，而是在政治上采取行动，与他们所支持的政党对媒体的批评保持一致。本文试图更深入地理解是什么导致了包括新闻业在内的各种文化权威的信仰或怀疑。
