On this week’s media roundtable, we’ll discuss role of the media in the Trump era. The New York Review of Books’ Michael Massing notes that Trump is both the product and the servant of an entrenched system — one that news organizations generally fail to challenge.
Also, 2018 has been a deadly year for journalists. The number of journalists murdered for their reporting has almost doubled. For the third year in a row, more than 251 journalists are behind bars around the globe.
