"Trump's period in office sent shockwaves across an already fragile
U.S. news media industry. This beautifully written book explains
how all of that happened and why it matters for the future of
American democracy. But more than that, it maps out a brave new
understanding of journalism itself. Deftly avoiding nostalgia for
halcyon days that never actually existed, News After Trump roots
its argument in the complex, hybrid realities of today's media
system while making it abundantly clear that confronting deception,
inequality, and bigotry is journalism's urgent civic mission." --
Andrew Chadwick, Loughborough University
"What if the answer to America's declining trust inDLand relevance
ofDLjournalism 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." -- Dannagal G. Young,
University of Delaware
