Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers? The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying to answer this painful question. The organization is deep into a long selfanalysis known as the journalism credibility project. Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly lowlevel findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, bined with lots of headscratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want. But the sources of distrust go way deeper. Most journalists learn to see the world through a set of standard patterns into which they report each day39。s events. In other words, there is a traditional story line in the newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a readymade narrative structure for otherwise confusing news. There exists a social and cultural disconnect between journalists and their readers, which helps explain why the standard patterns of the newsroom seem foreign to many readers. In a recent survey, questionnaires were sent to reporters in five middlesize cities around the country, plus one large metropolitan area. Then residents in these munities were phoned at random and asked the same questions. Replies show that pared with other Americans, journalists are more likely to live in upscale neighborhoods, have maids, own Mercedeses, and trade stocks, and they39。re less likely to go to church, do volunteer work, or put down roots in a munity.

The alarming distrust of the news media isn39。t rooted in inaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily conflict of world views between reporters and their readers. This is an explosive situation for any industry, particularly a declining one. Here is a troubled business that keeps hiring employees whose attitudes vastly annoy the customers. Then it sponsors lots of symposiums (討論會) and a credibility project devoted to wondering why customers are annoyed and fleeing in large numbers. But it never seems to get arou
