Thank you for this. Young people streamed into public interest law after Trump’s 2016 election. I hope they will stream into journalism similarly now.

I think you’re expressing serious ambivalence as to whether the main stream press is up to the task of holding Donald Trump accountable, forcing transparency and reporting the intentionally hidden.

I hope you’re wrong, but it is true that those under 35 years old now do eschew MS Media in favor of Social Media and popular Podcasters. That worries me! Where’s Walter Cronkite and only 7 channels when we need them.😊

Yes! Yes! And Yes! I am only reading this prescient piece more than two months after it was published, when I can admire how spot-on and timely Paul Horvitz’s comments remain. Onward!
