Trust Project Working Groups

Our thanks to the many individuals and their organizations who contributed time and expertise to the Trust Indicators and their editorial and technical definitions, the Trust Project branding identity, and to overall strategy. Our amazing volunteers include:

• The News Leadership Council, which guides the Trust Project on our Trust Indicators and advises on core issues related to information literacy and rebuilding trust in journalism within a fractious, so-called post-fact environment.
• The Trust Project Branding Group, expert designers who collaborated on creating our branding identity and Trust Mark logo under the leadership of Devin Slater, formerly design director at The Globe and Mail.
• The UX Working Groups (Americas, Europe) and Development Working Groups (Americas, Europe), who worked together on the details needed to implement the Trust Indicators and associated markup vocabulary on news sites.
• The Schema.org community, which collaborated with The Trust Project on new technical vocabulary for the structured data behind each Trust Indicator. A special shout-out to Dan Brickley, who led the charge.
• The many news executives and partners who develop editorial definitions for the following Trust Indicators, labels that will help differentiate quality news from poorly reported news, press releases and propaganda:
  • Best Practices
  • Type of Work Labels
  • Journalist Expertise
  • References
  • Methods
  • Local
  • Diverse Voices
  • Actionable Feedback
