But growing choice has gone hand-in-hand with greater uncertainty about who and what to believe, and traditional providers are still seen as more trustworthy, accurate and impartial than online platforms, Ofcom said.

journalists → say → society
"We need to talk to our audiences and explain to them, it's not in your interest not to choose truth and trust," he said.

he → need → truth
"We cannot function without a thing called the truth, without facts."

This → add → ?
We are the infrastructure for that information-based society.

society → go → us
