"'Trusted Sources' casts a critical spotlight on the local news crisis, highlighting the pervasive distrust undermining the credibility of news media, the surge of polarization, and the rampant spread of disinformation. It also examines the alarming trend of local newsrooms shuttering, exacerbating the crisis. This documentary underscores the essential function of a free and independent press as the lifeblood of our democracy, affirming that local journalism is vital to the civic health of our communities. It is evident that public policy plays a pivotal role in addressing these multifaceted challenges. After watching the film, one thing is clear: as we rally to rebuild local news, it is imperative that we also rebuild the trust between local news outlets and the readers they serve."
