Why do Americans have an issue with trusting journalists? Is it falling revenues at local television stations and newspapers, forcing them to do more with less? Is it inexperience, lack of institutional knowledge or the time pressure of being first to post? B.J and his mentor/former colleague Mike Archer of www.thearcherjournal.com discuss how these challenges imperil trust, a critical component of freedom of the press.
BJ finally follows the advice so many have given him over the decades: take a hike! This time he drives and walks up to a bygone symbol of Vermont history, ascending new heights on a spectacular autumn afternoon.
