“One of the comments I hear most often as editor of The Christian Science Monitor is, just give us the facts. This week’s cover story provides just the facts on American presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Neither of the two has offered much in the way of developed policy platforms, at least not by recent historical standards. But they do have political records. We examine those to give you a sense of how they might govern, beyond the rhetoric. On one hand, the criticism about facts is a fair point. Journalism in general has become more interpretive in recent decades. Where news was once mostly just quotes and facts, now it involves analysis and context.” (09/24/24)
