商品描述

This book explores how trust, media, and democracy are deeply connected in times of digital change and political uncertainty. It shows how trust in democratic institutions and government is built, challenged, and contested through old and new media. The early chapters introduce key ideas about social and political trust and explain why trust and distrust both matter for democracy. It then examines the role of news media and journalism as mediators of trust, before turning to major contemporary challenges such as digitalisation, political polarisation, populism, and the spread of misinformation. Drawing on comparative research from across Europe, including the Covid-19 pandemic, later chapters analyse how citizens judge governments, experts, and media institutions. The book concludes by proposing a model of "enlightened trust" that highlights the importance of critical publics, media responsibility, and democratic debate. It will be of interest to readers searching for insights on trust, media, democracy, and the future of journalism and the public sphere.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討了在數位變革和政治不確定性時期,信任、媒體與民主之間的深刻聯繫。它展示了對民主機構和政府的信任是如何透過舊媒體和新媒體建立、挑戰和爭議的。前幾章介紹了社會和政治信任的關鍵概念,並解釋了為什麼信任和不信任對民主都至關重要。接著,它檢視了新聞媒體和新聞業作為信任的中介者的角色,然後轉向當前主要挑戰,如數位化、政治極化、民粹主義和錯誤資訊的擴散。後面的章節基於來自歐洲的比較研究,包括Covid-19疫情,分析了公民如何評價政府、專家和媒體機構。本書最後提出了一個「啟蒙信任」的模型,強調了批判性公眾、媒體責任和民主辯論的重要性。對於尋求有關信任、媒體、民主以及新聞業和公共領域未來的見解的讀者來說,本書將會引起興趣。
