In a survey associated with a similar campaign that led people to information about the Trust Indicators, 60 percent of those who responded said they gained more confidence in assessing news.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Such public confidence is vital. Experts predict a significant rise in mis\/disinformation as elections heat up, with generative AI potentially a dangerous accelerant. It&#8217;s well-known that uncertainty about access to accurate information can lead people to avoid the news and in turn, step away from civic engagement altogether.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The #CheckThe8 campaign invites people to embrace their own role in democracy and help others recognize when they can trust news &#8211; and when they cannot,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Sally Lehrman<\/span>, founder and CEO of the Trust Project. &#8220;The Trust Indicators allow people to apply their own priorities while also using consistent, global standards of transparency around ethics, funding, ownership, accuracy, labels for opinion and other measures.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The social media campaign invites the public to <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4067583-1&amp;h=653714088&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fthetrustproject.org%2Frapidresponse%2F&amp;a=register+for+the+%23CheckThe8+campaign\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">register for the #CheckThe8 campaign<\/a>\u00a0and receive free materials to share the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4067583-1&amp;h=302139230&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fthetrustproject.org%2Ftrust-indicators%2F&amp;a=8+Trust+Indicators%C2%AE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">8 Trust Indicators\u00ae<\/a>\u00a0as a news awareness tool.
