Como utilizar KPIs e OKRs para uma melhor estratégia de produto jornalísticoNPA Original Content

Magid-RTDNA 2022 Consumer Trust Study
A groundbreaking fact-finding research project the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) conducted with Magid (www.magid.com).
The study’s biggest takeaway — perhaps no surprise to journalists who have been fighting “fake news” claims for the better part of a decade — is there is no panacea, no silver bullet to winning and losing trust. Rather, the study identifies a pattern of behaviors and practices that most influence whether consumers believe what they see and hear.
The result is a roadmap for newsrooms to adopt and follow to maintain and win back trust in their communities (https://www.rtdna.org/article/rtdna_magid_trust_in_journalism_research_rtdna22)
