Covering Politics in a "Post-Truth" America by Susan B. Glasser
I was very impressed with this Political work and will be recommending it to "Political Junkie" friends.
Susan B. Glasser is a journalist herself and was an editor at Politico during the 2016 Election.
She writes both eloquently yet in a deeply personal way of the changing faces of Journalism and Reporting.
She speaks of how Today's news is fast and sophisticated with so many digital news outlets, outstanding reporters, Policy Wonks and a Tech Savvy audience of readers.
But she also exposes the downside of all this News. She speaks of "Revolutionary Chaos". She asks important questions like just what have we, the people, given up for all this modern cutting edge news? Is there any accountability left?
And she goes into great detail about the 2016 election, the polling models and how wrong they were, the viral moment of the Trump Access Hollywood video and the realization of just how deeply our whole way of digesting news has changed.
I'd say this is a must read for any Political Junkie. It was written back in 2016 when Trump first won but is no less relevant now and I really enjoyed this essay including the look back at a more simple time and the reign of Print Journalism. I look forward to reading more of her work as this was excellent. (
