(Adnkronos) - PACIFICA, Calif., Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Four more news sites in the United States, Canada and Hong Kong have earned the Trust Mark in recognition of their commitment to trustworthy journalism, announced the Trust Project®. They join hundreds of news outlets globally that show and uphold the 8 Trust
The Trust Indicators® – a "gold standard" in journalism transparency—show who and what is behind a news story. They emphasize practices that ensure honest journalism serving the public interest, including the separation of opinion and paid content from news, the protection of newsgathering from funder or government interests, and a commitment to impartiality, fact-checking and correcting errors.
The Trust Indicators® are now shown for the first time on online-first sites in Colorado and Georgia:
On the nonprofit, impartial Hong Kong Free Press, the city's only independent English-language newspaper;
And on Xtra, which has offered proud and independent LGBTQ2S+ journalism on politics, culture, health and relationships since 1984.
The Trust Project is grateful to Craig Newmark Philanthropies and Google for enabling us to support each of these sites in the hard work of implementing the Trust Indicators.
