There will be no second Trump Bump

Dec 18, 2024 | niemanlab.org | Andrew Donohue

The last Trump presidency catalyzed a movement around the importance of journalism. Billionaire-led newspapers crafted bold, public-facing mission statements like “Democracy Dies in Darkness.” Budgets soared. So did pageviews. When I told people what I did for a living at a party, I’d get a nod and a “So important.”And journalism organizations, for the most part, rose to the challenge.

How big a threat does misinformation pose to democracy?

“Epistemic” is a good five-dollar word. It means, roughly, “of or relating to knowledge or knowing.” Or “relating to knowledge or the study of knowledge.” (Think epistemology, fellow liberal-arts graduates.) The first time I remember encountering it in mainstream usage was during the early days of the Obama administration, when some of the internal intellectual bonds within the Republican Party were beginning to fracture.
This is the beginning of the end for The San Diego Union-Tribune

Nov 6, 2023 | niemanlab.org | Andrew Donohue |Sarah Scire |Sam Cholke |Allison Altshule

As the Fourth of July approached last year, The San Diego Union-Tribune prepared to do something it’d never done in its 154 years of existence: For one day, the newspaper wasn’t going to print an actual paper.

News story or meme? After Elon Musk aXes headlines, it’s hard to tell

Oct 5, 2023 | niemanlab.org | Sophie Culpepper |Joshua Benton |Andrew Donohue

The saga of how Elon Musk has undermined news on X (RIP Twitter) in the year since his chaotic evil takeover of the company is a long one. Swapping verification for pay-to-play system Twitter Blue1 ; labeling NPR “state-affiliated media”; and throttling the (already-limited) flow of traffic to news websites from links posted on the platform, to name a few standout moments.
