In the wake of increased scrutiny of the American media, this paper examines the efforts American news organizations in adopting practices that provide newsroom transparency. These practices act as an effort to explain their reporting process, to shift and broaden audiences, and to increase the public’s trust in their journalism. This study investigates these issues through in-depth, semi-structured interviews with a purposive selection of newsroom executives and reporters who are engaged in these transformations.
