SPJ/LA is co-hosting a screening and panel discussion on the documentary ‘Trustworthy’. The documentary chronicles a 5,300-mile journey across America to explore the growing crisis of trust in media that threatens our democracy, and whether we can find common ground. From small towns and urban enclaves, the Trustworthy team spoke with journalists, experts and everyday Americans across the political spectrum about how we got to this critical moment, how we can become better news and information consumers, and how we can come together to rise above the misinformation and discourse aimed at dividing our communities.
