Listen "Trust"
Episode Synopsis
Trust is an essential part of journalism. In this episode, we find out why it's important and what you can do as a freelance journalist to gain it. We talk to Steve Nowottny, an editor from FullFact, who discusses how his work exposes and counters the harm false information can cause, and Jennifer Sizeland, a UK-based freelance journalist, who talks to us about how journalists can build trust with their sources.Steve NowottnyTwitter: @stevenowottnyWebsite: https://www.stevenowottny.com/Jennifer SizelandTwitter: https://twitter.com/LandofSizeInstagram: @lifeofsize Website: https://landofsize.com/ResourcesFull Fact https://fullfact.org/How journalists can build trust with their sourceshttps://ijnet.org/en/story/how-journalists-can-build-trust-their-sourcesMuck Rack https://muckrack.com/search/Qwoted https://www.qwoted.com/Branding advice for journalistshttps://freelancingforjournalists.substack.com/p/branding-for-freelance-journalists?s=rFFJ podcast episode on brandinghttps://open.spotify.com/episode/2DiPXKqkBgZaJkSqI9VIqoFFJ Twitter verification campaign https://freelancingforjournalists.substack.com/p/join-our-twitter-blue-tick-campaign?s=rMedia matchmaker https://mediamatchmaker.co.uk/War on truth on BBC Radio 4 documentary by Marianna Spring https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0btv73rFreelance journalist recommendationsHarry Wallop https://harrywallop.co.uk/Marianna Spring disinformation reporter for the BBC https://twitter.com/mariannaspringAnya Ryan
