journalism

I could stand to see some sane, good-hearted billionaires funding independent journalism that reports on the extreme threat to our country.

Ben Mullin, the New York Times’ media reporter, described the media group’s fundraising as "a sign that some outlets are tapping a surge of enthusiasm for adversarial journalism post-election".

She is a professor in the Department of Communication and Journalism at Texas A&M University and author of several books, including "Demagogue for President: The Rhetorical Genius of Donald Trump."

So she has some advice for journalists tempted by the burden of having bosses to “just go independent,” enticed, say, by the siren call of freelancing: “Just do a substack! It’s the future of journalism.”

Didion bridged the worlds of Hollywood, journalism and literature in a career that arced most brilliantly in the realms of social criticism and memoir.
