Mediated Trust
A collaborative initiative between the University of Sydney and the Australian Research Council.
Significant crises of trust have been identified with social, political and economic institutions throughout the world. This research program identifies communication media, including digital and social media as well as news and journalism, as having a central role in both the causes of distrust, and countering crises of trust.
We foster partnerships and collaboration between researchers, government, NFP and industry partners working on critical real-world issues.
Our work makes a difference by informing decisions in government, industry and the wider community.
In 2023 Professor Terry Flew was awarded a five-year ARC Laureate Fellowship to establish the Mediated Trust program.
