The undermining of trust in the media is being debated and spoken all over the world. What kind of journalism should be there, how to maintain the trust of readers, if any politician can call you liar. The professional news media, no matter how authoritative it is, doesn’t have a monopoly on truth and news any more.  Somehow media lost its expert knowledge and know-it-all status of a universal reference book in which there are answers to all the questions. In the era of post- truth, arrays of untested information, the media should become a guarantee of quality. A trust and frank dialogue with the reader will become that most important and main currency. The professional news organizations have a new clear goal and social mission - to help a person to survive in a whirlwind of information messages.
