Donald Trump and his forthcoming presidency may be the greatest gift to Washington journalism since the invention of the expense account. His controversy and approach to politics has changed the way that he is reported. There is the idea that an approach needs to be sought that appeals to Trump and his team.
O Nixon also fought with the press by seeking to block the publication of the Pentagon Papers in 1971.
O The Wall Street Journal just explored how Trump’s debt to more than 150 financial institutions (more than $1.5 billion than he has admitted to in disclosure forms) may create potential conflicts of interest for him.
I think that finding an approach that appeals to Trump and his administration, it can harm the way news is reported and feed the issue of fake news. It causes the issues that were faced by traditional media such as a minority of people serving a minority of consumers (paretos law) and the hypodermic needle theory. It gives Trump the ability to give himself the platform to share whatever he wants. Even more dangerously it is a platform that people trust and rarely check to see the validity/accuracy.
