“Journalism in America is slowly transforming as old institutions fall apart and old technologies fall into disuse or are taken apart and repurposed. We are in a privileged moment, since journalism in a conventional sense no longer exists—we can now look at the past and try to achieve something more impressive in the future. Before turning to the past and future, it’s useful to understand our present in light of the collapse of this conventional authority. There are now no journalists of national importance; there is no institution that commands national respect. Not only is it the case that all attempts to persuade or educate through mass media are partisan, but they fail to summon partisan loyalties or reach a wide audience. Moreover, media institutions aren’t even trying to achieve popularity or prestige.” (08/23/24)
