A dramatic decrease of trust in journalistic media has been noted and discussed in public discourse recently. Empirical studies, however, cannot clearly prove a "trust crisis " in the media. However, systematic research on the causes, mechanisms and consequences of media trust is still in its infancy. The new conditions resulting from digitization have so far received little attention. In addition, the research field suffers from intradisciplinary fragmentation: even within communication studies, a wide variety of research directions on media trust and related constructs - in particular on credibility - exist largely side by side; an exchange and integration of perspectives is rare. Against this background, the aim of the network proposed here is to structure and systematize the research field of communication studies on media trust, taking particular account of the development of digitization, and to promote the transfer of knowledge within the subject. Furthermore, the different perspectives of the research directions are to be identified and brought together by the proposed network in order to counteract the fragmentation of current research. Finally, the network aims to increase the visibility of the research field in the public debate. A total of ten young scholars, one Junior professor and three full professors from seven different locations in Germany and Switzerland have confirmed their participation in the network. In addition, the applicant also assumes the role of network coordination. All network members have extensive preliminary work on the subject of media trust and are currently carrying out relevant projects. The members will work on the goals of the network in three working groups (WG): the groups take a theoretical-normative perspective (WG1), a methodological perspective (WG2) and an empirical perspective (WG3). A total of six meetings are planned, including a workshop with journalists, political and civil society actors.

最近在公共话语中已经注意到并讨论了对新闻媒体的信任急剧下降。然而，实证研究并不能明确证明媒体存在“信任危机”。然而，对媒介信任的成因、机制和后果的系统研究还处于起步阶段。迄今为止，数字化带来的新情况很少受到关注。此外，研究领域还存在学科内部分裂的问题：即使在传播学研究中，关于媒体信任及其相关结构（尤其是可信度）的各种研究方向在很大程度上是并存的；观点的交流和整合是罕见的。在此背景下，本文提出的网络的目的是在考虑到数字化的发展的情况下，构建和系统化传播研究媒介信任的研究领域，并促进学科内部的知识转移。此外，研究方向的不同观点将被确定并通过拟议的网络汇集在一起，以抵消当前研究的碎片化。最后，该网络旨在提高研究领域在公众辩论中的可见度。来自德国和瑞士7个不同地点的10名青年学者、1名初级教授和3名正教授已确认参与该网络。此外，申请人还承担着网络协调的角色。所有网络成员都就媒体信任问题进行了广泛的初步工作，目前正在开展相关项目。成员将在三个工作组（WG）中为实现网络目标而工作：这些工作组采取理论-规范视角（WG1）、方法论视角（WG2）和经验视角（WG3）。计划共举行六次会议，包括记者、政治和民间社会行动者参加的讲习班。
