In this episode of Backlight, we speak to journalists across traditional, non-profit and independent media to unpack how trust is being rebuilt from the inside out. From getting personal, to admitting mistakes, to making stories longer, we explore what it really takes to earn audience trust in 2026.
To tackle these questions, Beatriz and Tessa speak with Ed Lee, who led the New York Times Trust Team, independent journalist Joi Lee and Isaac Saul, founder of Tangle News.
