Scholars are still uncovering information about Britain's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade and its era of slavery, piecing together how the wealth generated from these atrocities shaped the nation's history. For some descendants, this means just now learning about their families' roles in and benefits from these horrors. In Britain, a few horrified heirs and private institutions are stepping forward to make amends, but there are few models for what meaningful reparations or restorative justice could look like. Where do we go from here, and what would truly make a difference? In this conversation from the 2024 Aspen Ideas Festival, the three panelists bring personal and academic experience to this weighty conversation. Harvard historian Vincent Brown, British TV presenter and historian David Olusoga and former BBC journalist and reparations advocate Laura Trevelyan discuss the meaning and practical application of reparations and restorative justice. New York Times editor Dean Baquet moderates the talk and takes questions from the audience. aspenideas.org
In Berkeley Talks episode 214, former editors of the New York Times and the Washington Post, Dean Baquet and Marty Baron, evaluate how the media covered the 2024 U.S. presidential election and share thoughts on how journalists should effectively cover Donald Trump's second term. In 2016, the New York Times was shocked that Trump won, because they didn't understand that the country was “ready to elect a Donald Trump,” said Baquet at a UC Berkeley Journalism event on Nov. 13. But, he said, he thinks the coverage of the most recent election was much better. “My argument would be that, and people have trouble accepting this, but all of the stuff you know about Donald Trump — his abuse of the tax structure that David Fahrenthold wrote about, his taxes and his tax dodges that the New York Times, including David Barstow, wrote about, the allegations of women, all of the things that became controversies about Donald Trump — were written about in the American press, and the American people voted Donald Trump in anyway. So I actually think the press did a much better job. How do you think the press performed this election?”“Well, I think there was a lot of good work,” responded Baron. “I would say this: When people asked me, ‘How did we do?' in 2016, I said that our problem predated 2016. Our problem is that we did not understand America well enough to understand that this country would produce a candidate like Donald Trump.“We did not understand the level of rancor and grievance against elites, including, and maybe particularly, the press, to understand that they didn't want Jeb Bush, who was called the front-runner at one point. They wanted exactly the opposite of Jeb Bush. They wanted somebody who was not part of governing the ruling elites, the political families. They wanted somebody who was going to go to Washington, basically be an arsonist, burn everything down, punch people in the face. And that's what they elected. And we didn't capture that. We didn't understand the country well enough. I do think that we suffered from the same problem this time.”“But this time, people knew that there was a good chance he'd win,” said Baquet. “There was a good chance he would win, but I don't think people anticipated that he would win as decisively as he has,” said Baron. “And they didn't understand that he would win in the voting segments that he won, to the degree that he did, among Black Americans, among Latinos, among even women, among you name it. To win all of the swing states, I don't think that that was anticipated at all.“And so, I don't think we detected that level of desire for a change. And to me, that is, I think we need to work harder at really understanding the country.”Listen to the episode and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts).Music by Blue Dot Sessions.UC Berkeley photo by Marlena Telvick.

In April of 2022, New York Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet announced his retirement after eight years of unprecedented growth and ambitious reporting. When he took the job in 2014, he was the first African American to hold the position in the paper's 163 years. But the Pulitzer-prize winning journalist has a lifelong career, one that started in his hometown of New Orleans. Since stepping down as editor, he plans to lead a new investigative journalism fellowship at the Times, where he hopes to engage young journalists with backgrounds often underrepresented in newsrooms. For more on his storied career and where he is headed next, we are joined by the legendary journalist and editor, Dean Baquet. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos.

Last week, after years of public speculation on the matter, the New York Times named Joe Kahn as Dean Baquet's successor to the position of executive editor. How did that process play out behind closed doors? And, as the midterms draw near, how does Kahn plan to cover the threat to American democracy? Baquet and Kahn sat down with Kyle Pope to discuss objectivity, the evolution of the paper from a news outlet to something we've never seen before, and—inevitably—Wordle.

EP 043 -- Episode 43 of BURKEFILE features a discussion between Lauren Burke and Black Press USA's Senior Correspondent Stacy Brown on the historic week that was regarding Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. Burke and Brown also discuss the impact of twitter and accurate news reporting after New York Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet sent a memo to editorial staff regarding changes in the paper's twitter policies. Rest in Peace to the amazing Eric Boehlert
Check out the full episode on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Let me know what you think: bmorrissey@gmail.com.The war in Ukraine is now six weeks old, likely to drag on even longer. It's important to consider how vital an independent and free media is to a free and independent Ukraine. I visited Kyiv in the fall, and I wrote about how the media operates in a far more complicated context there than in a place like the U.S. This challenge got greater in the wake of an invasion that's mostly ground the economy to a halt. Andrey Boborykin, executive director of news outlet Ukrayinska Pravda, told me on this week's episode of The Rebooting Show that the independent news media in Ukraine for now must rely mostly on grants from foundations and individual contributions from abroad. (Ukrayinska Pravda is also now publishing in English.)“We are in a very tough position when we speak about reader revenue, because here we are competing with expenses for food and transport and utilities,” he said. “We don't have the culture of people paying for content.”We spoke about his own experiences being displaced in Ukraine twice, as well as how Ukrayinska Pravda is continuing its operations. I wanted to have Andrey on to bring attention to the threat to sustainable and independent media in Ukraine. Andrey and Eugene Zaslavsky of the Ukraine-based Media Development Foundation have set up a local news emergency fund to help independent media in the country get over to the other side of this tragedy. The institutional-individual divideThe shift from institutions to individuals is happening in many areas of the economy and society. The Economist noted that influencers were “initially dismissed as credulous Gen-Z folk who had mistaken posting selfies for having a job” rather than being the entrepreneurs they are. The same is happening as the media business itself goes through a reorganization that shifts more power to individuals. Dean Baquet's get-off-Twitter missive to his newsroom can be seen in this light. Reporters should be out reporting, not tweeting all day and having their viewpoints trapped in the Twitter bubble, not to mention the fact that many NYT journalists are “bad at Twitter.” (Starting a Twitter fight is like engaging with a mascot at a sporting event: Impossible to emerge from the encounter looking good.) The Times is in a unique position to be able to set its own expectations as a brand that employs individuals. Other publishers will have a tougher time.The return of Covid (again) and eventsSurprise, Covid is back — well, it never went away.

At a Thursday lunch in the New York Times Washington bureau, upset reporters pressed executive editor Dean Baquet about a recent sting operation targeting national security reporter Matthew Rosenberg, according to two people present. Project Veritas, a group that has singled out journalists and Democrats in undercover operations, posted a pair of videos this week showing Rosenberg divulging details about sensitive newsroom dynamics and disparaging his colleagues. Rosenberg suggested that the media was overhyping the siege on the Capitol on Jan. 6, scoffing at colleagues who were there that day who said they were traumatized, and blasted what he called left-leaning younger Times reporters wrapped up in a “woke” culture influencing coverage. The videos immediately caused tensions to flare among Times staff, according to more than a half-dozen reporters who were granted anonymity to speak candidly. During the Thursday lunch, multiple reporters said they were upset about Rosenberg dissing their own coverage and badmouthing his coworkers.

Dean Baquet, the executive editor of the New York Times, and Jim Rainey, an award-winning reporter with the Los Angeles Times, spoke with hometown hero Timothy Egan in March of 2019 about the importance of investigative journalism and the path forward for media in this political era. These veteran journalists discuss how investigative reporting has changed over time, and what audiences expect and demand from the media today. They share challenges that reporters face when reporting from the field. “We allowed ourselves to become mysterious; as a result, people saw us as elites in an ivory tower,” Dean Baquet says. Jim Rainey agrees, adding, “When we go out now, it's not just what we write. It's how we conduct ourselves. How empathetic we are. And so—I think, correctly—we have a lot to prove.” These reflections set the tone for a lively conversation about transparency, credibility, and truth. With wit and honesty, they shine a spotlight on what the media can and should do better in an era of disinformation. They look to the future of newspapers: from print journalism (here to stay, they insist) and paid content, to podcasts and interactive digital storytelling. They also discuss ways in which journalists—young and old—mentor each other today.
In his final edition as presenter of The Media Show, Amol Rajan looks at the challenges ahead for journalism. With help from leading journalists, Amol argues that this is a golden age of media - but a dark age for news. Readers increasingly don't trust what they see in newspapers. Journalists criticise each other in public. And editors have seen much of their power shift to Silicon Valley, where algorithms now decide what people see. What can the media do to fix itself?

Last Saturday and Sunday were the NFL's new expanded "Super Wild Card Weekend," featuring (much to the chagrin of my wife) THREE games on each day. While the NFL has had to adapt during COVID, so have the the television networks. Due to Coronavirus concerns, NBC's Mike Tirico did the play-by-play of Saturday's Tampa Bay-Washington game from home in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Then, on Sunday afternoon, CBS's Tony Romo did the color commentary side from his home in Dallas. In both of these cases, you had announcer teams in separate locations, describing very fast action simultaneously. And I don't know about you, but I don't think either broadcast missed a beat. If they hadn't announced these setups in the pregame, I wouldn't have even known.What does this have to do with your podcast? If two broadcast partners can describe a football game from remote locations, you can easily do a high quality podcast the same way. You may not have a national television network's budget, but there are now a number of different online recording platforms that will record your audio on your local machine, free of internet buffering, THEN upload it to match your cohosts. I've long been a user of Squadcast, but I also know folks who use Zencastr and others. And some folks still use Zoom. Now I think of Zoom as a last resort, but some people are comfortable with If you're going to use Zoom, make sure you use the "original sound" option and, if you're going to edit the audio, be sure to record everyone on a separate track. You'll thank me later.For folks who want to record a video copy of their podcast as well, apps like StreamYard and Riverside are gaining popularity quickly.

Now it turns out their TEAM is, but the Breaker app itself has been acquired by Los Angeles based Maple Media: https://blog.breaker.audio/the-breaker-team-is-joining-twitter-f8c1721d66c6Finally, podcasting is not a free for all. What you say and do - both on and off "the air" have consequences. By now you've heard that YouTube banned Steve Bannon, and President Trump was kicked off of basically every platform out there. This week, Cumulus Radio threatened to fire any talk show hosts that perpetuate misinformation about the 2020 Election.The big drama in podcasting surrounds the team at The Daily from the New York Times. Two years ago, they did a riveting mini-series, released on Saturdays, called Caliphate, which was the story of a radicalized Canadian turned ISIS fighter. The only thing wrong with the story - it wasn't real. In an interview published December 18th on Caliphate's feed, Michael Barbaro sat down with Times head honcho Dean Baquet, who said his organization was duped - the supposed ISIS fighter made it all up. The interview seemingly owned up to the organization's mistakes, explained what happened, and what they will do better.I didn't hear the interview this week, a month later. Why? Yes, it was in the Caliphate Feed, but not in The Daily's feed, where the podcast was repeatedly promoted. Seems the Times wanted to create separation between The Daily and Caliphate, despite the fact that Caliphate was produced by the team at The Daily, which includes Lisa Tobin, now engaged to Michael Barbaro, and Andy Mills, who has had a bevy of #MeToo allegations levied against him in recent weeks. And perhaps most egregiously, there are reports of Barbaro privately encouraging reporters to back off their stories on the SNAFU. I once had a boss say, "You Eff up, you Fess Up." And while I'm a huge fan of The Daily, it seems they really missed the mark here. Again, behavior matters.https://www.npr.org/2021/01/12/955873886/public-radio-stations-rebuke-times-for-ethical-lapses-related-to-caliphate-podca?utm_source=podnews.net&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=podnews.net:2021-01-13If you'd like help with your podcast, I've now added video recording to my services.

Darrell Castle talks about the resignation of Bari Weiss from the New York Times along with what her resignation actually says about the Times, the newspaper of record for America and the world. Transcription / Notes BARI WEISS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING Hello this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. Today is Friday July 17, 2020 and on today's Report I will be talking about the resignation of Bari Weiss from the New York Times along with what her resignation actually says about the Times, the newspaper of record for America and for the world. The Castle family continues to do well in our new virus dominated world, but the family daughter remains stuck now in the middle of her 5th month of exile. I will admit to allowing some anger to creep into my life over her condition. I am known to occasionally rant to Joan on the order of, “how long can they justify holding her hostage and telling her they have no idea how long her sentence is. We carry on and we try to make something positive out of our periodic video calls with her. Today I'm going to talk about what I consider to be one of the most important events in the history of American journalism, and that is the resignation of Bari Weiss. Bari was the NYT opinion columnist and editor and she resigned last Monday after sending a scathing letter of explanation to her boss, NYT publisher. A.G. Sulzberger. I'm going to let her do most of the talking today so you can understand the gravity of the reasons she cited for her resignation. In brief she cited bullying from colleagues and said that the Times is no longer a place where intellectual curiosity is tolerated and that she was essentially forced out by a mob of woke insiders who disagreed with her wrong think. “My own forays into Wrong think have made me the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views. “Now I will quote from her letter of resignation and you may assume I am quoting unless I indicate otherwise. It is with sadness that I write to tell you that I am resigning from the New York Times. I joined the paper with gratitude and optimism three years ago. I was hired with the goal of bringing in voices that would not otherwise appear in your pages: first-time writers, centrists, conservatives, and others who would not naturally think of The Times as their home. The reason for this effort was clear: The paper's failure to anticipate the outcome of the 2016 election meant that it didn't have a firm grasp of the country it covers. Dean Baquet and others have admitted as much on various occasions. The priority in Opinion was to help redress that critical shortcoming. She goes on to talk about a long list of names she was succ3essful in bringing into the paper and then we continue the quote. But the lessons that ought to have followed the election—lessons about the importance of understanding other Americans, the necessity of resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free exchange of ideas to a democratic society—have not been learned. Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn't a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else. Twitter is not on the masthead of the New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor. As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper. The paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space. Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences, rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions, I was always taught that journalists were charged with writing the first rough draft of history. Now, history itself is one more ephemeral thing molded to fit the needs of a predetermined narrative. My own forays into Wrong think have made me the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views.
Dean Baquet is executive editor of The New York Times. "I always tried to question what is the difference between what is truly tradition and core, and what is merely habit. A lot of stuff we think are core, are just habits. The way we write newspaper stories, that’s not core, that’s habit. I think that’s the most important part about leading a place that’s going through dramatic change and even generational change. You’ve got to say, here’s what’s not going to change. This is core. This is who we are. Everything else is sort of up for grabs." Thanks to Mailchimp for sponsoring this week's episode.

House Democrats have said that they do not plan to return to work from their spring recess until at least May 4th, “absent an emergency” that requires Members to return to Washington, D.C. — and they are claiming that Republicans are the ones holding up additional coronavirus relief for small businesses. New York Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet attempted to defend his paper’s decision to wait 19 days to report the sexual assault allegation against Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, claiming this allegation was different than those against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The White House is expected to announce a plan to decrease the United States’ financial commitment to the World Health Organization, limiting one of the WHO’s major sources of funding in hopes of forcing the global wellness group to cut its ties to the Chinese government. This and more as time allows, plus don't forget about the Edwards Notebook and the Veteran's Tip of the Day!

We’re in a moment that feels scary, uncertain and unsettling, and may feel this way for a while. While we’ll continue to cover the coronavirus pandemic until it’s over, we realize that this time requires more than news and information. We also need release — and relief. And we’ll do our best to provide that in the coming weeks. To start, we asked a few of our colleagues at The Times to share what’s bringing them comfort right now.

The media’s coverage of the 2016 presidential campaign has come to be criticized for operating under three key assumptions: that Hillary Clinton was certain to be the Democratic nominee, that Donald Trump was unlikely to be the Republican nominee, and that once Clinton and Trump had become their party’s nominees, she would win.With voting for 2020 set to begin in Iowa on Monday, “The Daily” sat down with Dean Baquet, the executive editor of The New York Times, to discuss the lessons he — and the organization — learned from 2016.

Earlier this week we were joined by executive editor of The New York Times Dean Baquet and historian Sir Simon Schama for an examination of the role of the media in today’s increasingly polarised politics. Baquet is the first African-American editor of the world’s most influential news organisation. Schama, as well as being a celebrated author and television presenter, is a prolific political and social commentator, writing for leading international newspapers and journals.Baquet took us deep inside the decision-making process at The New York Times at a moment of unprecedented tension between the White House and the American press. How does he make sure his staff adhere to the rules of impartiality when they are themselves the targets of the Trump administration’s attacks? What pressure has the White House brought to bear on reporters and editors? How is The New York Times, and the press in general, coping with that pressure?

It's Friday, so that means it's panel time.US President Donald Trump's July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reportedly included a “promise” that was regarded as so troubling that it prompted an official in the US intelligence community to file a formal whistleblower complaint with Inspector General for the intelligence Community Michael Atkinson. The IG investigated the complaint, determined that it meets the definition of an "urgent concern," which could include a violation of the law or an executive order, and found the complaint "credible." Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire went before the House Intelligence Committee Thursday morning to discuss his role in holding back the whistleblower report from Congress. Is this really as serious of a problem as the mainstream media outlets are making it out to be?"In the days following the phone call, I learned from multiple US officials that senior White House officials had intervened to 'lockdown' all records of the phone call, especially the official word-for-word transcript of the call that was produced — as is customary — by the White House Situation Room. This set of actions underscored to me that White House officials understood the gravity of what had transpired in the call," reads the whistleblower's complaint, which was released Thursday. The complaint adds that "the transcript was loaded into a separate electronic system that is otherwise used to store and handle classified information of an, especially sensitive nature. One White House official described this act as an abuse of this electronic system because the call did not contain anything remotely sensitive from a national security perspective."A Thursday New York Times article on the whistleblower at the center of the impeachment inquiry into Trump has caused many to be concerned for the person's safety. In the article, the Times calls the whistleblower a CIA officer who worked at the White House and has experience with Ukraine. Dean Baquet, the Times' executive editor, responded to the concerns in a discussion with the paper's Reader Center, saying: "The president and some of his supporters have attacked the credibility of the whistleblower, who has presented information that has touched off a landmark impeachment proceeding. The president himself has called the whistleblower's account a 'political hack job.'"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been given the first chance to try to form a new government after negotiations with his main rival, Blue and White leader Benny Gantz, failed to produce a governing coalition. Someone said last week that a cat has nine lives, and Netanyahu has used 13. "The decision to give the mandate [to Netanyahu] was based on the question of who has the better chance of forming a government," Israeli President Reuven Rivlin said Wednesday. "Right now, Benjamin Netanyahu's chance of forming a government is higher." The prime minister, who heads the Likud party, currently has a coalition of 55 seats in the Knesset, owing to his alliances with right-wing Orthodox and Zionist parties. However, after the previous election in April, Netanyahu mustered 60 seats, falling just short of the 61 needed to form a government. He has four weeks to reach the threshold, and the possibility of two more weeks if needed. He may need every second of that time.UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was forced to cut short his visit to the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday and return to face the ire of British legislators, after the UK Supreme Court voted unanimously to block his attempt to abrogate Parliament until October 14. Supreme Court President Lady Brenda Hale called Johnson's advice to the queen to suspend Parliament "unlawful, void and of no effect."The Trump administration announced Wednesday that the US had reached a migration deal with Honduras which would allow US immigration officials to send asylum seekers to Honduras if they passed through the Central American country on their way to the US but did not apply for asylum there. Honduras is currently one of the most violent and poverty-stricken nations in the world. "Department of Homeland Security officials reached the accord with the government of President Juan Orlando Hernández, who is embroiled in allegations of government corruption and charges that he and others have been operating the nation as a criminal enterprise — Hernández has been named as a co-conspirator in a major U.S. drug trafficking case," the Washington Post reported Wednesday.GUESTS:David Schultz — Professor of political science at Hamline University and author of "Presidential Swing States: Why Only Ten Matter."

Dean Baquet is the executive editor of the New York Times and a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist. In February 2019, he sat down with Edward Wasserman, dean of UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism, to discuss the 2016 elections and the future of fact-based journalism."I don't want to be a leader of the opposition to Donald Trump," he told Wasserman. "This is perhaps the hardest thing about navigating this era. A big percentage of my readers, and I hear from them a lot, want me to lead the opposition of Donald Trump. They don't quite say it that way, but what they say is, 'Why quote his tweets? Why go to his press conferences? Why not? Why not just call him a liar every day? Why not essentially just take him out and beat him up? What are you waiting for?' I think that would be the road to ruin, for a bunch of reasons. But, to me, the most powerful one is if you become the leader of the opposition, eventually the people who you're aligned with come to power, right?"This conversation is featured on On Mic, a podcast by the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.

Show #233 | Guest: Jill Abramson | Show Summary: One of the news media's most qualified voices examines critical information battlegrounds: old media vs. new, documented veracity vs. clickbait. Jill Abramson follows four companies—The New York Times, The Washington Post, BuzzFeed, and VICE— over a decade of disruption and radical adjustment in her new book, Merchants of Truth. The two venerable newspapers wrestle the challenge of an aging readership; the two upstarts confront a ballooning but fickle audience of millennials. She profiles the defenders of the legacy presses and the larger-than-life characters behind the new speed-driven media competitors. Those players include Jeff Bezos and Marty Baron, Arthur Sulzberger and Dean Baquet, Jonah Peretti, and Shane Smith as well as their reporters and anxious readers. What does all this portend for the discriminating reader?
Today on Midday, a conversation with a veteran journalist about the intersection of journalism and business; the changing nature of how and from whom we get our news, and who pays for it; and the growing poltical assaults on truth and the news media. Jill Abramson began her career as a reporter in the early 1970s, during the Watergate Era. She spent almost a decade at the Wall Street Journal, and she was the first woman to be appointed the Washington Bureau Chief of the New York Times, where she rose to become the Gray Lady’s Executive Editor. In 2014, after three years in that position, the Times fired her in favor of the current executive editor, Dean Baquet. Abramson is currently a columnist for the online The Guardian US, and a visiting lecturer in the English Department at Harvard University.She has written a compelling book about the current state of journalism and the business of journalism. She shines a spotlight on four major news enterprises -- the New York Times, the Washington Post, BuzzFeed and ViceMedia -- and examines the tension between their aspirations to publish accurate, thorough stories about the important issues of the day, and their need to make enough profit from publishing those stories to sustain diverse, multi-media newsrooms -- and satisfy the corporate entities that own those newsrooms.The book is called Merchants of Truth: The Business of News and the Fight for Facts. Jill Abramson joins us from the studios of WGBH in Boston…

The panel is hosted by El Nuevo Día and The New York Times and will be streamed live at elnuevodia.com on Wednesday, September 18 at 10am.
Dean Baquet and Marty Baron, the Executive Editors of the New York Times and the Washington Post respectively, join David for the Axe Files on CNN to discuss the challenges of covering the Trump presidency, the unprecedented attacks on the free press, the power of journalism to change history, and the trajectory of their storied careers from reporters to editors.
EDITORS NOTE – This Mort Report Extra is a basic guide for keeping track of the world. It is long. Headlines are only headlines; news summaries and snippets are not enough for seeing detailed distant reality. We can read Sophocles in crib notes, but that risks missing the part about Oedipus poking out his own eyes. PARIS – The noble ostrich is impressive to watch loping along an African savannah at 50 miles an hour, but its survival strategy needs work. With head in the sand and tail in the air, it risks ending up skinned for some rich guy’s cowboy boots or maybe a Mar-a-Lago golf bag. My recent piece about the White House jihad on truth prompted one reader to remark that Donald Trump’s slurs resonate because “the msm (mainstream media) is no longer trustworthy or helpful.” Big news companies make up a single collective to be dismissed out of hand. Here’s a parallel: The smc (supermarket chains) no longer provide nutritious food. Of course, they do. Choice is up to each shopper. Those who load up their carts with only Twinkies and canned spaghetti can hardly blame the store. The “mainstream” is shot full of failings, but its broad reach provides essential basic coverage. That’s a start. Countless other sources add detail, verify or dispute facts, fill in context and sketch human backdrops. Anyone who fails to grasp global realities isn’t trying hard enough. This is a primer to help make sense of an unruly world. With threats of nuclear High Noon, climatic catastrophes, conflict on five continents, desperate millions on the move and fierce competition for dwindling resources, nothing matters more. In 2004, when far less was at stake, British editor Andrew Marr noted in his book, “My Trade,” that many people he knew ignored newspapers and dismissed broadcast news as mindless nonsense. They focus instead on their families, busy daily lives and local charity. “This is not good enough,” Marr wrote. “We are either players in open, democratic societies, all playing a part in their ultimate direction, or we are deserters.” Back then, A.J. Liebling’s quip was still true: freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one. Anyone can play now, and that is a mixed blessing. “Journalist” is now as meaningless a word as “media.” We need to know who is telling us what – and why. The Web is a delivery system, not a source. People would be leery if some stranger on the street in a clown suit and floppy shoes bloviated about places he couldn’t pronounce. But clueless self-appointed experts on TV or computer screens receive far less scrutiny. Early on, Google claimed to offer news from 5,000 providers. But if, say, hostilities broke out in Kashmir, that meant 4,998 “outlets” riffed on the same dispatches from the AP and Reuters stringers in Srinagar. These days, such secondhand sourcing is beyond measure. Too many people now think news, unlike food, comes at no cost. And too many purveyors oblige with generic “content” packed in paid pitches and political cant. With a free lunch, it is hard to complain about quality. Much solid reporting comes at no charge, but we need to scale a few paywalls. We also have to budget our time. Nearly every substantive story comes with time-consuming kibitzing that also passes for journalism. Reveal, an arm of the California-based Center for Investigative Reporting, spent months documenting hidden safety issues at Tesla. The gold-standard CIR, founded in 1977 as the first U.S. investigative journalism nonprofit, relies on reporters and editors of proven credibility. Elon Musk, the man behind Tesla, fired off a series of tweets calling journalists corrupt and cowardly. The CIR, he said, was “just some rich kids in Berkeley who took their political science prof too seriously.” (It’s in Emeryville.) Jack Shafer, a kibitzer for Politico, fired back. He called Musk is a media assassin, not a critic, an example of nouveau-billionaires who think reporters should be fawning PR flacks. True enough. But he wrote, “Journalists love nothing more than to be slapped around (and) Musk’s sustained caning…has brought nothing but sunshine and smiles to newsrooms all over America.” Shafer speaks only for himself. Kathy Gannon, for one, does not love being slapped around. After 18 years in Afghanistan, she knows what “shoot the messenger” can mean. An Afghan cop shot up her car in 2014, killing her friend, photographer Anja Niedringhaus, and wounding her badly. After long, painful rehabilitation, she hurried back to Kabul. Gannon undermines another generality. Associated Press has axed experienced reporters to save money. It slashes travel expenses and often relies on untested stringers. Yet she is among top-quality AP pros who stay at their jobs. AP – like the “msm” – is neither all bad nor all good. AP illustrates how the global mediascape has evolved. During my 38 years of employ until 2005, we jokingly called it the A&P, a major grocery chain. It was a supermarket of news, cooperatively owned by newspapers and broadcasters that shared costs. Along with big stories, it kept track of small ones percolating under the surface before they erupted into “breaking news.” As its members saw profits decline, AP shifted focus to big projects with bragging rights and various “profit centers,” leaving too many world-changing trends and events uncovered. It can be excellent. And not. Newspapers also reinvented themselves, mostly cutting staff and shifting to “hyperlocal” coverage. A new breed of owners broke up family-founded chains forged by hard-earned public trust. Hedge fund hogs plundered. Shady magnates bought papers to push their own interests. A few dailies are now better than ever. Some try hard with what they’ve got. Many are a disgrace. Television news has changed beyond recognition. Once three U.S. networks kept large bureaus abroad. Walter Cronkite at CBS was the most trusted man in America. Today, CBS’s website lists only lone correspondents in Rome, Istanbul and Beijing. Four work from the London hub, where stories from elsewhere are often narrated from the studio, with purchased footage not from CBS crews. (ABC and NBC staff reporters also cluster in London. It’s “foreign.”) Cronkite likely prolonged the Vietnam War at first by believing the Washington line rather than correspondents on the ground. But, a real journalist, he went to see for himself. He found a stalemate, and national sentiment shifted. Cronkite’s trademark tagline at the end of his newscasts, “And that’s the way it is,” defined the times. America had to take him and others at their word. Big media set the agenda, with a smattering of smaller papers, radio networks and freelancers as a counterbalance. Logically, countless interactive multimedia sources that speed words and images from everywhere would reflect a clear picture of the world. In fact, it allows people to form whatever picture comforts their beliefs. And with tools to measure what resonates, media executives try to give people what they want. Late in May, a Harvard study said Hurricane Maria killed 4,645 people in Puerto Rico, 70 times more than the official count. Beyond the human cost, it defies belief that a government so outrageously masks the toll of its feeble response. Yet CNN devoted 12 minutes to that story and nearly five hours to Roseanne Barr getting cancelled. MSNBC was not much better. Pandering to have-it-your-way news is a boon to despots. Anything that thwarts their narrative is labeled fake, feeding distrust of all “media.” Trump’s campaign resonates with hardline tyrants and wannabe demagogues everywhere – particularly in Russia. David Ignatius, who spent decades as a foreign correspondent and then edited the International Herald Tribune before analyzing world affairs for the Washington Post, summed it up in a column about Arkady Babchenko, who miraculously returned from death: “When a prominent Russian journalist fakes news about his own murder to try to expose the Kremlin’s misdeeds, you know something has gone dangerously wrong in what we like to call the free marketplace of ideas. These days, it has become a battle space where anything goes.” Babchenko falsified his death with help from Ukrainian agents to elude Russian thugs. It worked. But reporters have enough trouble remaining credible, and alive, without an activist-journalist whose ploy, in effect, helps Vladimir Putin dismiss actual murders as hoaxes. Here are some thoughts on shaping a reality-based worldview, a framework that fits together odd shaped pieces into a quickly changing kaleidoscope: –Triangulate the way reporters do. When a new story breaks, check it against another version and add a third. As it develops, look for informed analysis that probes its broader meaning. Beyond who, what and where, look for why and what next. –Consider wider implications. A lifeless child on a beach in Turkey is only one dramatic symptom of diplomatic failure, needless conflict, economic imbalances, corruption, xenophobia. and, increasingly, a changing climate has been ignored for too long. –Subscribe to The New York Times. You need it, and it needs you. There is much to criticize. It makes mistakes, some serious, but it does not willfully distort or fabricate. It provides unmatched global coverage, with online graphics, visuals and data sets. Its archives give historical context. “The failing New York Times” is a Trump whopper. He has made it boom. It is publicly traded but still controlled by a newspaper family faithful to old principles. –Add The Washington Post for the cost of a few drinks in a fancy bar. It hounds Trump because that is a newspaper’s role. Its fact checkers found he made 3,251 false or misleading claims in 497 days, some clear-cut grounds for impeachment. I’m troubled by a publisher who also dominates a global empire of cheap books and canned beans. But Marty Baron is as good as editors get, and Jeff Bezos stays out of his way. Times’ editor Dean Baquet jokes that the new Post motto, Democracy Dies In Darkness, is a little grim. Maybe, but it’s true. The two editors cooperate as much as they compete. –No list can begin to be comprehensive, but I’ve got a few favorites. The New Yorker is worth whatever it costs. Look abroad. Britain’s The Guardian, free if you choose not to contribute, is a vital outsider’s eye on America and the wider world. Talk to friends and poke around. Try Germany’s Spiegel Online for probing analysis, interviews and hard-reporting at length. India’s The Hindu, with a circulation of 1.2 million, focuses on human factors behind the news, with a staff of savvy correspondents. –TV is tough to characterize. For me, BBC is best, with reporters and anchors whose faces often reflect a hard life on the road. Funded by a TV tax, it avoids disguising paid messages as editorial product and obnoxious chest-thumping. Which brings up CNN. Its focus on Trump’s campaign boosted ratings – and likely swayed the election. CNN can be excellent. Some of its correspondents are rock solid. Christiane Amanpour, who earned her chops in scary places, gets to the heart of what matters. Fareed Zakaria’s analyses are good enough to make you forget he backed the Iraq invasion. (“Any stirring of the pot is good.”) But keep a remote handy in case Richard Quest pops up. –Non-profit groups dig into specific subjects, with deeply reported investigations. ProPublica, the Center of Public Integrity and Reveal are among some good ones based in America. The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, which produced the Panama Papers and much else, relies on a network of others across the world. These groups collaborate with NPR and PBS. Independents such as Amy Goodman add to the mix. –Read books for a broad view of the world to help you tune out peripheral noise. Today’s biggest story “broke” five centuries ago when Leonardo da Vinci nailed it. By tracing the flow of water and winds, he saw that humans live in sync with a single ecosystem. If that balance tips, no one will survive. Then, as now, deluded leaders fail to get this. We need reliable eyes and ears beyond every horizon. Real journalists are driven by curiosity, commitment, ethics, and a deeply ingrained horror of getting things wrong. Some young reporters seize this immediately. Some old ones never do. The trick for readers is to determine which is which. For more on Mort log on to https://www.mortreport.org/about/

In this special bonus episode from the 2017 Code Conference, New York Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet talks with Recode's Peter Kafka about how the newspaper's journalists are covering President Donald Trump and why there are so many leaks coming out of Washington at the moment. Baquet acknowledges that many journalists, including him, misunderstood the "anger and anti-elitism" that elevated Trump, and defends the hiring of climate skeptic Bret Stephens as an opinion columnist, saying people on the left should be willing to hear him out. He also warns that local news is "verging on a crisis" and smaller outlets around the country may have to be rescued by technologists and philanthropists. Baquet says one of his other goals is figuring out how to update the "voice" of the Times to match the way people talk online. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Thursday, June 1st, 2017 - The mainstream media claims that their anonymous sources are credible, and that the anonymous sources of anyone who disagrees with them are not credible. Make sense? Of course not. But that's our new digital reality. On this episode of the propaganda report we illustrate unique ways the msm cites no one. We show how they try to justify their evidence free claims. And we talk about the, "Trust Us, We're The Media", reality that they hope to create. Subscribe to the Propaganda Report podcast on iTunes for weekly in-depth propaganda analysis by clicking here.

School of Journalism "How Journalists Work" SeriesFeaturing Dean BaquetJanuary 25, 2006
An Evening With Dean Baquet
TRANSCRIPT Church Militant (a 501(c)4 corporation) is responsible for the content of this commentary. It's the final countdown, and what's coming into focus now is President Trump's strategy. It's not exactly a Hail Mary, but it is a high-risk, high-reward gamble. Consider, for the past four years, Trump has had every imaginable thing thrown at him from the Marxist-minded establishment. His opponents in the swamp — including a not-small number of Republicans — have essentially been running an ongoing coup. To break it down even further, the powerful political forces within Washington, D.C., led by the child-killing Democrats, concocted a story that Trump was anti-American and colluding with the Russians. Then, they disseminated their story quietly among various operatives in the intelligence community. Those anti-Americans who had been placed there during Obama and Biden's eight years then started "leaking" the information to their media allies who kept the false information going as headline stories every day for over 1,000 days. They pressed, earlier on, that a special counsel was needed to investigate Trump, and voilà — the whole Robert Mueller saga was born. Almost three years later, it is a big "nothingburger." It was an investigation built on lies, and then even more lies. It was promulgated nonstop through the media, which used it constantly to blast Trump and call into question in the minds of many that he was unfit for office. The powerful political forces within Washington, D.C., led by the child-killing Democrats, concocted a story that Trump was anti-American and colluding with the Russians. Anything Trump responded to by way of social media was deemed "rude," "demeaning," "unpresidential," "divisive" and so forth. When "Russia, Russia, Russia" eventually blew up in the Marxists' faces, they shifted to the Ukraine phone call as an excuse to impeach Trump. That too failed, but this constant hammering took a toll. Then came the Wuhan virus, and if they didn't actually conspire with their communist counterparts in Beijing to bring it about, they certainly did seize on the opportunity to at least use it as another club against Trump. It took a few weeks, back in those early days, for the Marxist media to find its path to pin all this on Trump, but, just like in the aftermath of the 2016 election, they did indeed get back on point. Suddenly, it was Trump's fault. The call went out: No matter what Trump did, it was wrong — too much of this, not enough of that. The narrative has been so finely tuned at this point that there is no turning back from it. Hundreds of thousands of people are dead, and their blood is "on his hands." Never mind the tens of thousands of those deaths coming from nursing home victims shoved in there by Democratic governors in New York, New Jersey and Michigan. It's all Trump's fault, like everything bad is his fault. Just keep repeating that, over and over and over. He's a liar. He's unfit. He's mean on Twitter. The media strategy, in conjunction with their political allies, was to so beat up Trump so that by the time the election drew near, he would be seen as damaged goods. That part worked, at least some. The highly emasculated culture — launched on its way to arrive at this very point by the lesbians of the women's rights movement of the 1960s — just doesn't like men who talk like men. They actually despise men who act like men, which is to say men who get combative. The soy-boy feelings culture that is now dominant doesn't care about truth or reality. All it cares about is feelings and being nice. Trump's style (which is little else than directly saying the truth in very clear terms), coupled with the media outrage at him saying the truth, created a to-be-expected polarization. What it showed was an already-existing divide in the country that Trump simply highlighted. That divide was between actual Americans (who have been asleep at the switch for decades while their country was being taken over by radical socialists, i.e., communists) and, on the other side, the actual communist clique of anti-Americans posing as lovers of America but who are in league with the George Soroses of the world (who want America swept off the planet). Obama was their poster boy. The "hope and change," the transformation man who would pave the way for the final takeover — which Hillary was to complete. But along came Trump who upset that apple cart, who kicked the wheels of their little red wagon. He won by making an appeal to ordinary Americans, those who just live their lives quietly, doing their thing, and not plugged into the bloodlust game of seizing power: Somewhere in their American bones, they felt something was just not quite right. So they came out for him, and the pollsters predicting a Hillary win were wrong. But during the four years of his first term, Trump could not have imagined the fierce resistance he would get from the Marxists. In the immediate aftermath, the Marxist media were dumbfounded. They could not grasp what had happened. Even the New York Times wondered aloud what it and other media had missed. In a searing, soul-searching article, the Times' executive editor Dean Baquet said they had missed the hidden voter out there in flyover country, and it was their fault. The elites, he concluded, hadn't understood the common man. That self-assessment fits nicely under the "even a broken clock is right twice a day" category. He committed to going out into the American frontier and connecting with these Americans, yadda yadda. After a few weeks, that was completely abandoned in favor of the strategy to blast Trump and initiate a persistent coup in the hopes of destroying him for any possible second term. Once they got up off the mat, they came at him with all they have (and still are). Many Americans cruise through life unwilling to become involved, reading an occasional headline jammed into their faces by evil men and slowly come to believe what they are told. They did a lot of damage: They beat him up pretty badly. Gone almost instantly, in the face of the media-created pandemic panic, was the most successful economy in the history of the world, the restoration of American greatness across the globe, the lack of any military involvement in foreign wars. All of it, gone — poof. And why? It's because regular, everyday people not involved in the daily fight against cultural evil fail to understand the power of the media — especially the electronic media. How ludicrous is it that a virus that hospitalizes a tiny, tiny fraction of the U.S. population (and that kills only those with already-serious and numerous underlying illnesses) can suddenly become the top-of-mind concern for the entire nation? A recent Fox News survey said voters are equally split on what their top concern is between COVID and the economy (each register 44%). Think about that for a moment. There is not a single person in America unaffected by the economy — jobs, inflation, taxes, prices of good and so forth. And yet, a virus with a near zilch mortality rate is suddenly tied for first place as the top concern. That is the power of the media. And it always will be. And the reason why is because ordinary people are easily manipulated by crafty evil men in power — and it's their own fault. They cruise through life unwilling to become involved, reading an occasional headline jammed into their faces by evil men and slowly come to believe what they are told. Trump's game plan now is to create a new kind of "wokeness" — what he keeps terming the silent majority. It worked in 2016, as a large group of mostly Midwesterners heard Trump's call to save the country from the rot of communism and responded. They had been missed by the pollsters in the run-up to the election, and they propelled Trump to victory by the narrowest of margins in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. Now, four years later, Trump is going back to the well once more in the hope that it hasn't run dry. There does seem to be some hope at least that he might be able to pull it off one more time. The public rallies are larger and attended by the same types of folks who secured his victory in 2016. And we don't mean solid Republicans. We mean people who have never voted Republican before or people who haven't voted in many cycles — the disaffected voter, blacks, Hispanics, women, or former Democrats. These demographics make up about half of all the attendees at Trump's rallies. And precisely because they haven't voted in many cycles, they don't get counted in the polls we hear from the mainstream Marxist media. The questions (which no one yet knows the answers to) are: How many are there? Are there enough to overcome those who have been bamboozled by the media? Will they show up in sufficient numbers next week? It's not exactly a Hail Mary by Trump, but it is a high-risk, high-reward gamble. He is simply doing an end-run around the conventional political thinking. He's not even trying to convince those who believe the media narrative about him. He's trying to create an entirely new voter base — one yet untapped and one that could only be tapped into by a man like him. That's the gamble. If he's wrong then the last great hope is over and the country sinks into socialism. But if he is right, the Marxists' and their media comrades' heads will explode next Tuesday night, and a new force will emerge to scourge the Left and begin a long-desired push back against the evil. This is why we are all praying in earnest. It is the Lord of History, using Trump (one way or the other), who will have the last word.
