Writing
A Substack on how trust functions — or doesn't — in the information markets, policy environments, and institutions I work inside every day.
I started writing Trust Issues because I kept having the same conversation.
Someone would describe a problem — with AI and journalism, with economic transition, with how a research finding was landing — and I'd realize the problem wasn't actually a communications problem. It was a trust problem. The right people didn't believe the right organizations. The right information wasn't reaching the people who needed to act on it.
Trust Issues is where I work through those questions in public. It's not a newsletter about communications strategy. It's a newsletter about how trust functions — or doesn't — in the information markets, policy environments, and institutions I work inside every day.
