In this article, Zizi Papacharissi, who is a professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago, talks about how we need to rebuild truth. She talks about how a society should all have the understanding of what is true and in the past few years, that truth has needed to be defended rather that reported. She also talks about ho journalists are supposed to share the truth that they find and how we see little trust in that truth. She talks about how "Truth is more than a collection of facts; it’s a mechanism for belonging". She gives ideas on how to rebuild the trust in truth, one idea is keeping social media where it belongs. It is meant to connect people and be a general place of conversation. She talks about how social media shouldn't b seen as the news and how we shouldn't trust is anymore than we trust some random guy. Keeping social media in its place could help in rebuilding truth.
