Briefing on 2021 Edelman Trust Barometer
Organizer: Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget/FixUS
Trust in societal institutions and leaders has been declining for many years in the United States and globally, with negative ramifications for the state of democracy around the world.
Please join a briefing on the 2021 Edelman Trust Barometer. Edelman has been studying trust for 20 years, turning data into insight on perceptions and trust in institutions. Their 2021 report highlights the current state of mistrust in societal institutions around the globe, the pervasiveness of misinformation, and how this environment is impacting businesses, government, NGOs, and the media.
We will be joined by members of the Edelman team, who will share key findings from the 2021 report and allow for an opportunity to answer your questions.

Anderson edited "Leveraging: A Political, Economic and Societal Framework" (Springer, 2014), has taught at five universities and ran for the Democratic nomination for a House seat in Maryland in 2016.
