Jennifer Schulze writes, "It sure felt like a terrible week for journalism. There were very high-profile examples of cowardice and capitulation that continue to undermine the integrity and trust of America’s news organizations."
Jennifer Schulze writes, "I fully expect credible health information to vanish when Donald Trump’s nominee, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and his band of anti-science, do-your-own-research, conspiracy-theory driven COVID deniers get control of the country’s health agencies."
Jennifer Schulze writes, "It has been less than two weeks since Donald Trump’s narrow win and already two of his fiercest media critics are bending a knee."
It turns out that important stories are waiting to be told, if only reporters will ask the questions. Luke Radel, a junior studying broadcast journalism and political science and working as a news reporter at the student-run TV station CitrusTV News at Syracuse University, did just that.
Jennifer Schulze writes, "Even though so many of our mainstream media outlets are obsessed with the odds, that’s not really the story, is it? It’s the stakes and they are ominous."
Jennifer Schulze writes, "These segments on CNN feel like a game show, with competing sides eyeing one another across the shiny, glass table waiting to score the first point."
Jennifer Schulze writes, "Can you 'hear it now?' It’s the deafening sound of CBS News abdicating its core responsibility as a news organization."
Jennifer Schulze writes, "I expect a 'who cares about ethics' response from right-wing propaganda outlets like Breitbart. But to hear some of the same from mainstream journalists is truly shocking."
Jennifer Schulze writes, "Political journalists seem to be working overtime to pick through Donald Trump’s word salads to find something, anything that makes him sound like a normal politician."
Jennifer Schulze writes, "The vibrant, happy convention proved yet one more blow to the credibility of some news outlets that spent months regurgitating 56-year-old videos and grainy photos of Chicago police clashing with anti-Vietnam War protestors during the 1968 convention."
