Hopecore, Bad Dads, and Moms Gone Mad

Peacock's The Paper, Apple TV+'s The Morning Show, FX's The Lowdown, and Netflix's The Woman in Cabin 10 offer their own visions of who newspeople currently are and what the news should be. Their genres vary, as does the degree to which they actually assess current media culture and whether it's under attack. But they all share a baseline amount of respect for and hero worship toward their protagonists, which feels sometimes comforting, sometimes naïve.

Charlie Kirk's murder is the latest violent act to put public-facing leaders on edge | Fortune

Good morning. I was in Scottsdale yesterday, recording a podcast on site at Deloitte's Next Generation CEO Program, when news about the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk began to trickle in. We had been talking about the challenge of being a public figure in business or politics these days, the need for visionary and visible leadership, when visibility can come at a price.

Gamergate was a warning that the media failed to heed - Poynter

In the mid-2010s, loosely organized online movements began spilling into the real world, catching popular culture off guard and leaving many journalists flat-footed in unfamiliar internet territory. You know their names. Pizzagate. QAnon. And the most consequential of all, MAGA: a mainstream political movement fueled in part by a fervent online contingent. But before all that came Gamergate, the proving ground where the tactics were tested.

In 'Richard Neuberger,' journalist Stephen Forrester recounts the biography of a politician ahead of his time, in an Oregon hard to remember * Oregon ArtsWatch

Richard Neuberger was a U.S. senator hard to imagine, in an Oregon now hard to remember. In 1954, he was the first Democratic senator elected from Oregon in 42 years. Before his election - and even while in the Senate - he was a volcanically prolific freelance writer, producing more than 750 articles and six books. He and his wife, Maurine, who would succeed him for a term in the Senate, were the first couple ever to serve in a state legislature together.

10 reasons I want my news in paper - Poynter

I am no expert on the economics of news, but you don't have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. The enterprise of news continues to face two intractable problems: the erosion of its business model, dependent upon print advertising; and the countless attempts by ideologues to undermine its credibility. As more people - especially a younger demographic - encounter the world on their phones, newspapers as objects are disappearing, along with many of the journalists who created them.

Why Media Journalists Might Lean Left

Holland's (1985) hexagonal model is the most widely used system for vocational counseling in the world. But its use transcends vocational counseling. In previous PT posts, I have described how Holland's model can be used to understand personality type theories in general, different ways of serving other people, gender norming on personality tests, and core values that underlie life goals. After describing the Holland hexagon, I will then explain how the hexagon can be used to understand the psychology of journalism.
