We live in a time of media fragmentation and hyperpolarization. This year’s presidential election raised further questions about traditional media’s relevance.

Yet many newsrooms still overlook even the most basic accessibility elements of publishing, even though...

Media’s acquiescence to Trump will fail

Nieman Journalism Lab 

You’ve seen them yank endorsements, sand down headlines, play both sides, and bend the knee at Mar-a-Lago. There’s a movement in media c-suites to get right with Donald Trump, or at least to be a little less antagonistic. It’s going to fail, and it’s going to fail badly.

In addition to working on journalism, elections, and democracy this year, I’ve been navigating a pediatric cancer diagnosis and treatment for my three-year-old.
