    DescriptionIn this episode of Media & Society, we explore what shapes public trust — and distrust — in media across Latvia and Estonia. How do political culture, economic insecurity, generational shifts, and digital platforms influence what people believe?

    Our guests, Professor Sergejs Kruks from Rīga Stradiņš University and Professor Triin Vihalemm from the University of Tartu, reflect on why trust in institutional media continues to decline, how socio-economic and ethnic differences affect media use, and why many vulnerable groups remain unheard.
