Can Media Regain Public Trust?

The media contributes so much to the public. To think about it most of the information we receive is from the media. Our current events on local incidents, political views, entertainment updates etc. The list literally goes on.  Journalists do their part in finding solid information in order to compose a newspaper that will give the public information. I notice that some people may argue that journalists tend to feed the public the "wrong news" such as the election between Gore and Bush. But in my opinion I do believe that the media can be able to regain the trust of the public because of the work they do. For example, Michael Schudson makes a valid point when he mentions, "News can  do for democracy including information, investigation, analysis, creating social empathy, facilitating a public forum, mobilization, and publicizing a representative democracy," (151). Clearly news (media) provides information. As the media continues to "get in the face of power," (151), I see that it can regain the public's trust. The public wants to hear what's going on all the time. They want to hear what is happening behind doors, the election or whatever that is currently going on. And if it wasn't for journalists, the information wouldn't exist.
