Edelman's Trust Barometer has become one of the world's most trusted annual surveys of public attitudes toward our bedrock institutions. This event will explore what it learned over the past 25 years and what it means for the future.
PR Week editorial director Steve Barrett will chat with Barometer founder Richard Edelman to discuss the events that have had the greatest impact on the public's diminishing confidence in government. Why the once positive perception of the media has gone downhill. And how we as communicators can begin to rebuild public confidence in our institutions.
