Recenzje

What if the answer to America's declining trust in—and relevance of—journalism is a reimagined journalistic commitment to morality, community, and authenticity? News After Trump offers a provocative and compelling proposition: instead of doubling down on 'detached objectivity,' journalists must tap into their authentic moral voices, drawing upon their own experiences, communities, and identities as they engage with events and issues. It's hard to feel optimistic about journalism and democracy right now, and yet, I leave this book convinced that by tapping into their moral voice(s), journalists can help rebuild public trust and make the lives of would-be populist authoritarians much, much harder.
