News brands start to pay close attention to user-first models as they are key to successful subscription and membership programmes

Mistrust towards the news can come down to many factors: portrayal of communities, fear of being manipulated or even spelling and grammar. What can your newsroom do to restore relationships with readers?
The latest Trust in News Project paper finds that journalists and readers are not always on the same page when it comes to building a trusting relationship.
The news agenda has changed dramatically since we started planning the online Newsrewired conference only a month ago. Lockdown seemed to have dominated every discussion, every news article and, in fairness, our every waking moment.
