Abstract
This paper argues that communication research has an important role to play in addressing the crisis of trust, in the context of what has been termed Society 5.0. Elements of the crisis that are of relevance to communications include the rise of mediated populism, challenges to economic globalization, the growing demands to regulate digital platforms, and the crisis of news, in terms of both credibility and business models.
