How Should the Press Cover Campaigns?
The American Journalism Review takes a look at how much has gone wrong in political coverage of the nomination campaigns. And you can read my essay on the topic at Media Ethics. [Ed. Note: The AJR quotes Andrew Cline-- the other one.]
I agree with much of what Paul Farhi has to say here. My essay is a bit more specific about what I think the press should be doing--argued on ethical grounds.
I look forward to the day when essays such as these begin doing some good. Hmmmmmm... I'm 51 years old... that means... well, one of you younger Rhetorica readers can visit my grave and tell me all about it.
