Jay Rosen insisted that political reporters must change their focus from who is winning to understanding the stakes involved in upcoming elections, especially with Trump’s potential return.
As Rosen argues, a new filter is crucial for 2025: prioritizing facts over sensational predictions, diverting attention from irrelevant horse race coverage to substantive issues that threaten democracy.
Voters’ past experiences with Trump have led some to dismiss dire warnings about his presidency, ignoring significant events such as the coup attempt and pandemic consequences.
Trump's campaign is triggering fears of severe consequences, yet journalists risk losing focus, becoming paralyzed by worst-case scenarios rather than addressing the actual implications for society.
