Updated from time to time. Ranked by urgency.</em></p> 158<p>1. The President of the United States is proceeding as though he were liberated from the distinction between true and false. His spokespeople are following on this dubious lead. What does the press do in response? </p> 159<p>2. It’s possible we are sliding toward authoritarian rule. That’s a development journalists ought to oppose with all their might. But they are reluctant to think that way. They don’t want to be on the opposing teamâ or anyone’s team. They just want to report the news. “We’re not the opposition,” they say. Yet they may have no choice. From what traditions can they draw to rise to the occasion, and find the will to fight? </p> 160<p>3. With Trump in power there is a surplus of eventfulness, too many things to report, track, investigate, critique. Too much news! How does the press keep from exhausting itself and fracturing our attention into too many pieces? </p> 161<p>4. Faced with a government uniquely hostile to it â hostile to countless norms of democracy that were once observed by both parties â the press is tempted to steady itself by saying: just do the job, the job hasn’t changed. But what if it <em>has</em> changed? </p> 162<p>5. A development long in train was solidified with the 2016 election. Somewhere between 25 to 35 percent of the electorate agrees with the President that the mainstream media can never be trusted. (“Fake news.”) They would rather get their Trump news from Trump. So now what? </p> 163<p>6. If a newsroom were optimized not for ratings, scoops, conflict, drama, entertainment, prizes, headlines, or “story”… but always for <em>trust</em>, what would that even look like? How would it behave differently from what we commonly see?</p> 164<p>7. There has been a surge in dollar support for major news organizations as Americans alarmed by the Trump presidency look to journalists for help. How can the beneficiaries of this support solidify it beyond the emergency atmosphere in which it was born and <em>earn</em> the trust that has been placed in them?</p> 165<p>8. Fahrenthold! During the 2016 campaign, the Washington Post reporter singlehandedly struck a blow for accountability journalism with his open and approachable style of investigating Trump’s philanthropy. How can the lessons of his success be spread to more practitioners? </p> 166<p>9. The Big Listen: How can journalists get radically better at listening to the electorate, and what does that mean in practice? </p> 167<p>10. The events of 2016 were a debacle for political journalism, a devastating blow. It would be folly to move on without a searching examination of what prepared the ground for this collapse. But now the same institution is under enormous pressure simply to keep up with the Trump regime. It <em>is</em> moving on. Where is the space for learning, regret, disavowal, doubt and reflection?</p> 168 </div> 169 </div> 170 </div> 171 <div class="maskTop"> </div> 172 <div class="maskBottom"> </div> 173 </div> 174 <div class="tile"> 175 <div class="tileInner"> 176 <div class="tileContent"> 177 <a class="tileDate" href="https://pressthink.org/2016/11/22/tile/gamergate-model-press-relations/"> 178 22 Nov 2016 6:18 pm <sp

A random follower on Twitter asked me if I had been following the story, which he said was “about ethics in games journalism.” No, I had not been following the story. In all innocence, I clicked on the link he sent me and tried to make sense of what I read. I failed. The events it described were impenetrable to me. (Disclosure: I am not a gamer.)</p> 201<p>Eventually I learned what Gamergate really was. The more I learned, the more depressed I felt. The people who promoted Gamergate said they were concerned about journalism ethics. As a professor of journalism with a social media bent, I felt obligated to examine their claims. When I did I discovered nasty troll behavior with a hard edge of misogyny. “It’s about ethics in games journalism” became an internet joke. Deservedly so.</p> 202<p>Recently Ben Smith, the editor-in-chief of Buzzfeed’s news operation, <a href="http://www.cjr.org/first_person/ben_smith_fake_news_buzzfeed_facebook.php">wrote</a>: “The big story of 2014 was Gamergate, the misogynistic movement championed by Breitbart and covered primarily by new media. That turned out to be a better predictor of the presidential election than any rubber chicken dinner in Iowa (or poll by a once-reputable pollster).”</p> 203<p>Ben is right. The Gamergate model in press relations posits that high-risk tactics should not be ruled out of consideration. It says that rejection and ridicule by the mainstream media can be a massive plus, because events like these activate â and motivate  â your most committed supporters: your trolls. The Gamergate model proposes that transgressing the norms of American democracy is not some crippling defect, as previously believed, but a distinct advantage because the excitement around the transgression recruits new players to the fight, and guarantees the spread of your content.</p> 204<p>The Gamergate model anticipates that the mainstream press will freak out. Full stop. And it seeks to profit from this reaction. What the traditional press considers negative publicity is, from the Gamergate point of view, a kind of gift to The Leader.

It is calm. It is the voice of experience. (Rosenstiel is a journalist, a former political reporter, in fact, but also a student and maker of change in journalism, as executive director of American Press Institute.) His counsel is wise. And it is insightful about how much the world has changed for people in the press. The changes are, as he says, “structural.” They involve the environment into which journalism emerges. Thus: “It is no longer enough to simply gather and report good stories.” So true. I thought this part especially sharp:</p> 282<blockquote><p>Journalists need to understand the way that information flows. We need them to understand the information platforms that will carry their reports and the networks of people who will share that information. It is not enough to build the ships. We need to understand the ocean they will navigate.</p> 283<p>That is precisely what those who want to pass along propaganda and falsehood are doing. Uninterested in gathering facts, they have spent their time instead studying instead how information moves.</p></blockquote> 284<p>Exactly! The whole essay is thoughtful and worth your time. I urge you to <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/research/what-the-debate-over-journalism-post-trump-gets-wrong/">read it</a>. [Pause.] 285<p>Then there’s the part in which I figure. I have a complaint about that, and while I know it is a small matter (tiny, really) it still matters to me because what I said was misrepresented, first by Michael Oreskes, Senior Vice President of News at NPR, and then by Rosenstiel, relying on Oreskes.</p> 286<p>The context: a campaign appearance by Trump at a Black church in Detroit. “The pastor called Trump on the carpet for attacking Hillary Clinton when he had promised not to be partisan. Trump later attacked the pastor and misstated key facts about what actually happened,” Oreskes <a href="http://www.npr.org/sections/npr-extra/2016/09/15/494122407/npr-editor-our-job-is-to-give-you-the-facts-not-tell-you
286-what-to-think">wrote</a>, citing <a href="http://www.npr.org/2016/09/15/494064219/trump-criticizes-flint-pastor-but-misstates-key-facts-about-their-encounter">this report</a> by NPR’s Scott Detrow. Oreskes observes:</p> 287<blockquote><p>We should not be telling you how to think. We should give you the information to decide what you think.</p> 288<p>Scott did that and we are proud of him. Now a number of people have asked us why we didn’t call Trump a liar. A professor named Jay Rosen actually asked why we didn’t call Trump a “lying son of a b****.” Others, like Amy Bradley-Hole, a fashion editor and blogger, asked the question more calmly.</p></blockquote> 289<p>I didn’t do what Orsekes said, as I will show you in a minute. Tom Rosensteil, relying on Oreskes, put it this way:</p> 290<blockquote><p>That same week, NPR took fire for a story in which it said that Trump had misstated facts about a meeting in Detroit with a black pastor. New York Universityâs often emphatic professor Jay Rosen berated NPR for not calling Trump a âlying son of a b****.â</p></blockquote> 291<p>I didn’t do what Rosenstiel said, either. They’re both referring to a tweet I posted on Sep. 15. This is the tweet:</p> 292<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"> 293<p dir="ltr" lang="en">This is what NPR says instead of: “Trump, you are one lying son of a b—-.” <a href="https://t.co/VESR2LS4VJ">https://t.co/VESR2LS4VJ</a></p> 294<p>â Jay Rosen (@jayrosen_nyu) <a href="https://twitter.com/jayrosen_nyu/status/776455072939143168">September 15, 2016</a></p></blockquote> 295<p>
295<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
295</p> 296<p>I didn’t ask NPR why they refused to call Trump a lying son of a bitch, as Oreskes claimed. I didn’t berate NPR for not calling Trump a liar, as Rosenstiel claimed. I made a factual statement: This is how NPR talks. This is their voice. This is how they render it. And I explained it that way when people responded to me on Twitter:</p> 297<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"> 298<p dir="ltr" lang="en"><a href="https://twitter.com/juniper9119">@juniper9119</a> I don’t know that it would. But the phrasing and framing tells you something about NPR.</p> 299<p>â Jay Rosen (@jayrosen_nyu) <a href="https://twitter.com/jayrosen_nyu/status/776466293377630208">September 15, 2016</a></p></blockquote> 300<p>
300<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
300</p> 301<p>Now I do think there’s a <a href="https://pressthink.org/2016/07/getting-granular-with-nprs-culture-of-timidity/">culture of timidity</a> at NPR and I have said that many times. But I didn’t berate NPR for not calling Trump a lying son of a bitch, or ask why they declined that phrasing.</p> 302<p>One more point and I will conclude my complaint about this exceedingly tiny matter. Oreskes didn’t quote me, link to the tweet he was referring to, or embed it. That matters because he was jamming me into a rhetorical space where the fit is not quite right, “pushing off” from my extreme claim to make room for himself in the reasonable center. Rosenstiel didn’t quote me, or link to the original, either. Not fair.</p> 303<p>I am currently writing something in which I plan to point out that Sean Hannity has argued that the mainstream press corps <em>should not be allowed</em> to cover Trump until they admit they colluded with the Clinton campaign. There is no way I would include that bit of information without linking to <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016/11/23/hannity-election-showed-journalism-far-worse-than-anyone-thought.html">where he said it</a>. That should be standard practice. What Oreskes did is bad practice.</p> 304<p><strong>UPDATE</strong>: Oreskes apologized on Facebook for this, graciously adding that the focus should be on Rosenstiel’s essay and not this kerfuffle. “You are correct.

This is a defeat for journalismâin fact, for verification itself. Neutrality and objectivity carry no instructions for how to react to something like that. They aren’t “wrong”, they’re just limited. The American press does not know what to do when neutrality, objectivity, balance and “report both sides” reach their natural limits. And so journalists tend to deny that there are such limits. But with this denial they’ve violated the code of the truth-teller because these limits are real.

That’s been happening <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/06/business/media/the-editorialists-have-spoken-will-voters-listen.html">all over</a>. But in explaining why they took this step, the editors made a call that I want to highlight for you. Read this carefully:</p> 371<blockquote><p>We cherish and fiercely protect this publicationâs independence and its reputation for objectivity, and we deeply value our relationship with all of our readers, regardless of political orientation.</p> 372<p>It is for all these reasons that FPâs editors are now breaking with tradition to endorse Hillary Clinton for the next president of the United States.</p></blockquote> 373<p>Notice what they’re saying: <em>Because we zealously guard our independence and objectivity,</em> we feel compelled to warn you about Trump. That’s not a rejection of our non-partisan principles, but an extension of them through extraordinary times.</p> 374<p>We have a strong relationship with readers in both parties. We would be failing in that relationship if we didn’t speak up now.</p> 375<p>“We feel that our obligation to our readers thus extends now to making clear the great magnitude of the threat that a Donald Trump presidency would pose to the United States.”</p> 376<p>The idea of not taking a side â which has its own integrity â only has that integrity if it has limits built-in. A lot of journalists are discovering those limits this year.

We assembled a substitute force that included people from every division including publisher and the editor. We distributed the paper free to any house that showed evidence that people lived there.</em> âDoug Clifton, <a href="http://www.newspaperalum.com/2012/07/20-year-anniversary-of-hurricane-andrew-a-q-a-with-doug-clifton.html">former editor of the Miami Herald</a></p> 449<p>Many times did I listen to editors at the Miami Herald reflect on Hurricane Andrew (1992) and their relationship with the community. What they recalled was extreme devastation: flattened homes and lives in the circulation area that the Herald reached. The newspaper was able to print, but delivery systems were busted, so Herald staffers from the publisher’s office to the mail room had to pitch in and help.</p> 450<p>After the storm they rode through devastated neighborhoods with copies of the paper, hurling them into damaged homes without knowing if anyone was in there. To their shock people would emerge out of half-destroyed houses and retrieve the newspapers that had been tossed into the rubble. These people were desperate for news, any kind of news, and they wanted to know if their situation was typical or exceptional.</p> 451<p>For the people of the Miami Herald the lesson was: when the users really, really need you, you have to deliver. But if you <em>can</em> deliver, you can earn in a few hours or days a kind of trust that may last for years. In any civic emergency that equation is alive.</p> 452 </div> 453 </div> 454 </div> 455 <div class="maskTop"> </div> 456 <div class="maskBottom"> </div> 457 </div> 458 <div class="tile"> 459 <div class="tileInner"> 460 <div class="tileContent"> 461 <a class="tileDate" href="https://pressthink.org/2016/10/13/tile/trump-threat-press-freedom-yes-goes-beyond/"> 462 13 Oct 2016 2:36 pm <span class="svg-icon link"> 463 <svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px" width="16px" height="16px"

I’m not criticizing it; they’re staying within their brief. But we have to recognize a second layer of danger.</p> 488<p>In the world Trump wants for us, the glamorizing entertainment media still exists. The strongman’s propaganda state still exists. The kind of journalism we can use to inform ourselves and check the powerful would be almost pointless. For he is actively running against such basic notions as:</p> 489<p>* âWe need a fact-based debate or there cannot be consent of the governed;â<br /> 490* âThere is something called the public record that cannot just be wiped away;â<br /> 491* “A candidateâs position on major issues should be made clear to the voters;â<br /> 492* “Lying cannot become a universal principle in politics without major damage to our democracy.â</p> 493<p>The critic Paul Rosenberg <a href="http://www.salon.com/2016/10/06/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-popularity/">said</a> something important about this last week: “The purpose of the press in a democracy is to help make a society legible to itself.” Exactly: legible to itself.</p> 494<p>With his non-stop lying and conspiracy mongering, his refusal to articulate and hold positions, his contempt for the public record â and even for the idea that candidates should have a grasp of the major issues facing the country â with the confusion and hatred of the other that he sows in every speech, Trump stands for the ruin of any fact-based debate to which the healthy practice of journalism can contribute.</p> 495<p>Is the Muslim ban still on? How can we debate it if no one knows? As I wrote <a href="https://pressthink.org/2016/09/asymmetry-between-the-major-parties-fries-the-circuits-of-the-mainstream-press/">here</a>, a political style that mocks the idea of a common world of facts is an attack on the very possibility of honest journalism.</p> 496<p>It’s bigger than imperiling the freedoms journalists need to do their job. Trump is campaigning to make American society <em>illegible to itself</em>.  That is a threat to pull the press out by its roots.</p> 497 </div> 498 </div> 499 </div> 500 <div class="maskTop"> </div> 501 <div class="maskBottom"> </div> 502 </div> 503 <div class="tile"> 504 <div class="tileInner"> 505 <div class="tileContent"> 506 <a class="tileDate" href="https://pressthink.org/2016/10/24/tile/now-att-wants-cnn/"> 507 24 Oct 2016 2:05 pm <sp

They seem to be smarter about it than Verizon was. The point I want to raise is this: a telecommunications giant with no tradition as an editorial company may not realize what a huge challenge it is to make a space for journalists to do their work without interference or restrictions.</p> 533<p>An editorial company is organized in a different way than every other kind of business. In one part of itself it has to take actions that can injure another part of the company or anger key customers, and â crazy as it sounds â this is the right way to run the business.
