THE DEATH OF EXPERTISE? How Trust, Media and Politics Reshape Authority

In an age of political polarisation, social media fragmentation and artificial intelligence, who do we trust, and why?
From pandemics and climate change to economics, technology and war, modern societies depend more than ever on expertise. Yet trust in institutions, academia, journalism and public authority appears increasingly fragile. Experts are alternately elevated as unquestionable authorities or dismissed as disconnected elites. At the same time, digital media ecosystems reward emotion, identity and narrative as much as evidence and reason.
In a world where compelling stories often travel further than facts, how do expertise and democratic debate coexist?
Can democratic societies acknowledge uncertainty and disagreement without undermining confidence altogether?
And what happens when traditional gatekeepers lose their monopoly on credibility?
Where is it happening?
