"People don’t trust us," Tur said last week.
In an interview promoting her new memoir, Tur was asked by The Hill’s Niall Stanage about admitting that she almost walked away from journalism altogether during the COVID-19 pandemic and how she feels about the industry overall.
"It can be a bit demoralizing, and then on top of that, there was just a Gallup poll out today that shows that the trusts in media – newspapers and television – is hitting an all-time low," she said.
"People don’t trust us, they don’t believe us, and it makes me wonder if this job, as I am currently doing it, is effective, but if it’s doing more harm than good," Tur said. "I don’t have a good answer for that, though, those thoughts linger in the back of my mind. They linger though because I do love it and I think it’s important and I’m hoping to find a way to better communicate with people."
Also last week, a Pew Research Center study indicated that 55% of journalists surveyed "say that every side does not always deserve equal coverage in the news," but 76% of Americans overall believe journalists "should always strive to give all sides equal coverage."
