journalism's crisis of relevance in a changed media culture

Summary

Donald Trump's rapid ascension from reality show star to president threw into question many assumptions about how our media & political worlds work. His habit of lying, history of racist statements, & disdain for conventions upended traditional relations between journalists & political elites. Taking an expansive view of the contemporary media & political environment during the Trump years, this book portrays a media culture in transition. As journalism's very relevance comes to be increasingly questioned, we focus on how different actors - from Trump to small-town newspaper editors - use their cultural power to define journalism, assess its value, & question what the news should look like. The chapters chronicle how Trump & his allies turned attacks on journalists into a central component of a right-wing populist formula, with journalists positioned as just one more self-interested, out-of-touch elite.--, Provided by publisher
