My quote: According to a new Gallup poll, trust in mass media in the United States is lower than it has ever been since the organization started asking that question in 1972 (Mathew 1).  I chose this quote because it makes a claim that goes against what I believe in. Since social media provides unlimited and often unverifiable news, mass media should be the place to run to for authentic news, which means that trust in mass media should be higher than it has ever been. This view is supported by Guess et al., who state that trust in mainstream media has increased in the last couple of years.

My classmates quotes:
The fact that we now have access to millions of potential new sources is a hugely positive thing for journalism broadlyspeaking, because we can hear from people who are directly involved in the news, and that makes it more likely thetruth will emerge (Mathew 2).
Do we trust those news sources that tell the truth, or do we trust the ones that tell us what we want to hear or believe? (Matthew 2) 

I have provided the whole article in the files:) thanks again!
