Why this matters here
The 2018 Knight Foundation and Gallup report American Views: Trust, Media and Democracy surveys how Americans relate trust in news to democratic confidence and media performance. When Incentives Become the Moral Language cites that trust terrain while arguing that engagement dashboards record clicks and shares more readily than the quiet erosion of credibility when headlines overpromise. The source measures public attitudes toward media and democracy; the book asks what incentive language cannot see when the reader feels trapped between performance and evidence.
