To be honest, this is just part of a larger problem. Even if we have "trusted" media companies, that will just increase centralization in the space by making it harder for indie outlets (who, in the age of the internet, can break significant stories well before larger media corps). Much of the material used by such corps these days comes from videos posted on the internet, any way. Grainy smart-phone video posted to the internet has been behind a large number of stories over the past few years. Add to this that it doesn't solve the problem of deceptive editing, a la Covington kid. The real problem here is still that people are by and large sheep who care not to read past a headline. If this sounds rude, perhaps it stems from my frustration with the issue. See case number one, mass shootings. As tragic as it is, you remain more likely to be struck and killed by lightning than shot in such an event. Most deaths involving guns are suicides. We still get several days of air-time for each, while all the while we have real problems. Homeless populations, poor educations, starving children in africa. Focus on those first, and go by order of what affects your nation most.
