In today's modern world, almost anyone can write a post about anything they please and possibly deceive the potential thousands of people who read it. Americans depend on big news companies to be transparent with how they gather and report news. As Kourtney Bitterly says in her article on https://www.niemanlab.org/2019/12/transparency-isnt-just-a-desire-its-an-expectation/, transparency between the news company and their readers "helps [the readers] get to know the people involved in making the content they consume, and that’s crucial when it comes to trust.". Readers expect to know what exactly goes into the making of their articles, which is important to their trust of the paper. This era of technology has ushered in countless opportunities for people to discover and read new articles on things that they deem interesting, however a big factor of those sources is making sure that the reader trusts them.
