Abstract
As Chapter 1 demonstrated, trust is conspicuously absent in a wide range of political, economic and media institutions. As such, trust is an increasingly studied phenomenon. We have adopted the moniker of ‘trust studies’, and this chapter will outline the growth of this field, the relative absence of reference to media therein and areas where there has been a recent emergence of interest in trust and the media.
