The declining trust in journalism poses a serious threat to the integrity of our democracy. The Washington Post is one of many news outlets who are grappling with the profession's credibility crisis and is trying to outline strategies to regain public trust. Jeff Bezos maked a principled decision to end presidential endorsements, citing their perceived bias, and acknowledges the inherent conflicts of interest that come with his ownership. His choice has raised critical questions about the role of the media, the influence of wealth and power, and the challenges of maintaining independence and credibility in an era of growing mistrust.
