Nexstar news head says journalists must earn trust

Recent flareups over use of anonymous sources and calls for a shield law for the press were discussed at the National Association of Hispanic Journalists convention earlier today in Fort Worth, Texas, according to the San Antonio Express News.
Susana Schuler, corporate news director for Nexstar Broadcasting, which owns KSNF in Joplin and KSFX in Springfield, and operates KODE in Joplin and KOLR in Springfield, participated in a panel discussion over these topics.
"Nobody has to trust us to be accurate and accountable," said Ms.Schuler. "It is something we earn and I just think we haven't earned it well as of late."
