John Nichols: „The Fourth Estate, President Trump & the Elections“
As the 2020 U.S. presidential election is picking up speed, one thing that is certain is that the media will again play a crucial role. With the Trump presidency, the media landscape and politics in general have been transformed significantly. Government policies are now announced on Twitter while popularity is measured by social media presence.
How has the growing relevance of social media impacted the 2020 elections so far and has the role of the fourth estate, i.e. the media, evolved from the 2016 elections?
John Nichols, renowned U.S. journalist and pioneer political blogger, dissects critical issues of modern-day journalism in a time when America’s freedom of the press is in jeopardy.
