"The press corps’ newfound solidarity is encouraging. It’s been a long time coming from a group that, in the past, has responded to this president’s constant abuse with deference and dinner invitations." 💥 @sulliview.bsky.social

Flawed but far from worthless, in my view.

@sulliview.bsky.social frames it well at American Crisis here today on Perry Bacon's "perceptive piece:"
"Many of us — whatever our politics — find the Times valuable, frustrating, sometimes disappointing and essential." substack.com/home/post/p-...

For DEPTH PERCEPTION's third anniversary edition, some of the sharpest journalists shared their thoughts on the state of the industry.

Media critic @sulliview.bsky.social feels hopeful for the future when she sees writers "who clearly care a lot, and when I see people doing important cultural work"

Graphic with DEPTH PERCEPTION branding and headshots of journalists Ryan Broderick, Eliot Williams, Margaret Sullivan, Nicholas Thompson, Laura Jedeed, Chuck Todd, Julia Angwin, Dave Jorgenson, Jelani Cobb, and Anthony Breznican with blue overlay, and text: "People are still curious." Top journalists on what keeps them hopeful

“All of these developments makes it even more important that legitimate news organizations do their job as well as possible, with our democracy hanging in the balance. Let’s keep pushing for it.”

10. Turns out we do not have to experience the constant drumbeat of this man's lies. Turns out members of the press can do their jobs professionally and dispassionately, reporting on the president while also essentially putting him on mute.
