Credibility Crisis

-- Findings illustrate power of PR in helping journalists provide relevant, authoritative and accurate information

[편집자 주] 본고는 자료 제공사에서 제공한 것으로, 연합뉴스는 내용에 대해 어떠한 편집도 하지 않았음을 밝혀 드립니다.

(CHICAGO, March 28, 2017 PRNewswire=연합뉴스) Cision released its 2017 State of the Media Report, which includes findings from a survey of 1,550 journalists, editors, influencers and producers. With the rise of misinformation and "fake news," a major new trend emerged in this year's report: journalists are extremely concerned with the public's perception of the industry.

Ninety-one percent of journalists reported believing that the media is somewhat or much less trusted than they were three years ago. This aligns with the 2017 Edelman Trust Barometer, which saw the public's trust in the media drop to 43 percent, a level nearly matching that of government officials, who hold the lowest trust rating at 41 percent.

However, journalists report being increasingly committed to accuracy -- 92 percent of respondents said that being right is more important than being first, up four percent from 2016. Sixty percent of journalists stated that they believe the public values facts over opinions or feelings.

"These findings showcase an opportunity for brands and journalists to work together to tell compelling, accurate stories that will resonate with the public," said Cision CEO Kevin Akeroyd. "With studies showing that earned media and executive brand voices are increasingly more trusted by the public than paid and owned media, communications teams have a responsibility to use data to ensure they're targeting the correct journalists, derive insights to craft better content and deliver thoughtful, well-sourced information."

Other key report findings include:

- Digital and social are the new "traditional media." Journalists are now more likely to use images, videos, infographics and user-generated multimedia than data assets. Forty-one percent say they use Facebook Live, 19 percent are using Instagram and 17 percent have used Twitter's livestream feature.

- Journalists lack some trust too - of social media. Despite using social media more frequently, only 44 percent of journalists feel that social media is a reliable source of information, down 7 percent from 2016.

- Reporters want tailored pitches, delivered via email. Ninety-two percent of journalists preferred receiving PR pitches via email, and their top recommendations for PR professionals were to research previous coverage and tailor the pitch to the journalist's beat.

Surveys were emailed to members of the Cision Media Database, who are vetted by the company's media research team to verify their positions as media professionals, influencers and bloggers. Two hundred of the participants work in Canada and 1,350 work in the United States.
