So what public sources of information and analysis do you trust the most and what makes a source trustworthy?

Interesting.

OK, so you that was the public side.

Now let's talk about the private side.

Often when we have spoken, it seems to me like you've been having conversations with the people who are actually involved in making the important decisions.

You're in the room or you're close to the room.

Now, how do you get those people to trust that they can share information with you?

Because a lot of it, I'm sure, is confidential.

And so how does that work?

So how do you avoid getting spun?

What do you make of the changes that have happened to the media industry over the years?

So I'm imagining that when you're in these rooms or when you're talking to people, you're not, do you call yourself a journalist, for instance?

Right.

So you're a political scientist.

So that actually gives you a kind of a different credibility from a journalist who is there to report on the topic.

But then the media company that you have, GZERO Media, is reporting on these stories all the time.

You have a team of people who are writing and analyzing and giving context about all of these things.

I'm just curious because the press has got such a bad rap at the moment and we can argue about whether it's warranted or whether it's not warranted.

In some cases it is, in some cases it isn't.

But access is becoming harder, it seems like, for people to be able to report about what is happening at the highest levels.
