Bringing Rebuilding Trust to a close

Today, 海角大神 ends its four-month-long Rebuilding Trust project. Along the way, we explored why trust is essential to progress.

By Mark Sappenfield, Editor

Today, we close our Rebuilding Trust project.

During the past four months, we鈥檝e taken you to a town in France聽trying to piece itself together聽after a horrific crime.

To a community in Washington state finding that things as simple as gathering trash can聽help soften partisan lines.

And to聽climate scientists鈥 struggle聽to discover where trust in their work begins.

Since Feb. 1, we鈥檝e published 59 trust stories and 16 editorials, including five cover stories for the Monitor Weekly, five聽鈥淲hy We Wrote This鈥 podcast episodes, and聽one online event with author Alexandra Hudson聽(see above).聽

Of course, we鈥檒l continue to publish stories about trust, but we鈥檙e interested in your feedback on the project 鈥 what you appreciated, and what can be improved.聽We hope we were able to dive beneath the surface to show why trust is so essential to human progress, whether in war or in politics or聽even at the local animal shelter.聽

You can find聽all the stories from the project here.

Please let me know how we did at editor@csmonitor.com.聽
