I asked Michael Brito to discuss Edelman’s Trust Barometer in that context.

Michael just published his first book “Smart Business, Social Business: A Playbook for Social Media in Your Organization.” 100% of the book’s royalties go to Not For Sale, an organization that is leading the effort to end human trafficking. You can buy Smart Business, Social Business here.
