Perhaps not a popular opinion, but I think trust is low because journalists are becoming more opinionated, and the fact that has been allowed to happen may appear to be an erosion in what a journalist is to do. As we've gotten more savvy about the media, increased access, and number of voices, I think people are getting tired of being told what to think, or they feel manipulated to think a certain way, and thus less trustful of the news. I learned in college many years ago to look for the authors voice. Dare I say the authors voice should be as formal, and background as possible. "Just the facts" would be an interesting change.
