Getting people to trust news sources is tough but Ben Smith is facing the challenge head-on, building credibility through Semafor. Find out how.

Ben is Editor-in-Chief and Co-founder of Semafor, the online news platform that strives to become a trusted news source in an interconnected world, based on journalistic transparency and a platform that delivers shared facts while giving voice to a range of informed, competing views.
