abstract = "Questions surrounding trust in news media have preoccupied scholars for almost a century. Based on a review of interdisciplinary literature, this paper maps the changing nature of news {\textquoteleft}trust{\textquoteright} over the past 80 years. In doing so, it highlights key issues. Firstly, there is no agreed definition of trust in news media. Secondly, there is a growing disconnection between the normative ideal of an informed citizen and the complex influences on perception of news credibility in the digital era. Thirdly, there is a tension between ideal of trust and the push for greater consumer scepticism in the age of {\textquoteleft}fake news{\textquoteright}. In conclusion this chapter asks whether general questions about public {\textquoteleft}trust{\textquoteright} in news media continue to be relevant",
