Top Story: Trump Era 2.0
If you predicted this, hats off.
For the rest of us:
Time to take stock.
Get curious
Ask a lot of questions.
Most of us underestimated, the rage that so many Americans feel about the Democrats. And we overestimated our ability to get through to folks about the dangers of a Trump presidency.
This feels like one of those moments in a strained marriage, when one spouse says: “Let’s get to know each other again.”
For journalists, that means getting out there and finding out who lives on our beats and how they want to be reached.
More on that…in coming issues. Until then…
THINGS TO READ
Do you know the women on your beat?
Stop pretending Trump isn’t who we are
White, progressive and totally out of touch
How the party of progress keeps falling behind?
Should we blame Joe Rogan…and other problems the Dems can’t solve.
QUESTIONS TO ASK
Who, what, when, where, how did we get it so wrong?
We’re Listening To
Not laughing….
