Knight Commission Roundtable
The Knight Commission on Trust, Media and American Democracy examines the causes and consequences of a collapse in trust in democratic institutions, with a focus on trust in the media, journalism and the information ecosystem. In addition, the Commission seeks to identify the perennial and emerging values and social obligations that should guide those who produce, distribute and consume news and information to ensure a functioning democracy. To accomplish this, the August 2017 workshop provided Commissioners and participants an opportunity for thoughtful discussion guided by a set of issue-driven white papers and readings.
