(AP Photo/Tony Dejak) You know journalism has hit rock bottom when a world-renowned literary journal that promotes intellectualism and the arts, The Paris Review, publishes an essay by bemoaning the election of Donald Trump without a single mention of racism, white supremacy, white nationalism, misogyny, or even the catchy nickname that downplays its supporters’ genocidal slant — “alt-right.”
This blatant normalization of hatred proves that marginalized people, including people of color, disabled people, LGBTQIA+ people, the poor (white, Native, and of color), Muslims and immigrants have almost as much to fear of mainstream media as they do of the next administration. It’s not just The Paris Review, it’s much of mainstream media, including U.S. news media. CUNY Graduate School of Journalism » Social Journalism: The Class of 2015.

What Journalism Needs To Do Post-Election – Carrie Brown – Medium. Faced with the growing recognition that the electorate was uniformed or, at minimum, deeply in the thrall of fake news, far too many journalists are responding not with calls for change but by digging in deeper to exactly the kinds of practices that got us here in the first place.
I’ve heard far too many calls for journalists to genuflect all the harder to the tired old god of “objectivity,” years after the book The Elements of Journalism taught us that while we can embrace independence from faction and transparency about the methods we use to verify information, pretending as though we can mirror what we see without bias is intellectually impossible. False equivalence, or the mandate to paint both sides as equally valid, regardless of evidence, helps exactly nobody decide how to vote, and erodes trust in journalism even more, as people know or sense the fundamental dishonesty and pandering this entails.
Even more important, there are no “two sides” when it comes to bigotry. 86 pieces of journalism wisdom published in the month since the election – Poynter. It’s been a month.
