It's very difficult to say. If I were to suggest.... Probably the biggest cause is social media, the proliferation of social media and the manner in which it is consumed. Information that is shared on social media does not have the same rigorous journalistic and ethical standards applied to it as we apply and as other media institutions—like the Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail, the National Post, Global News and CBC—apply to their operations. As a result of that, it becomes much more difficult for people to know what they can trust, who they can trust or what they should trust.
