Prof. Damian Radcliffe, Univ. of Oregon (Eugene): Journalism and the Media in the Age of Trump
Donald Trump is a different kind of politician. His candidacy and electoral victory have challenged journalistic orthodoxy and have drawn new battle lines between the White House and the mainstream media. How did we get here? How has Trump’s first year changed the conversation and how should the media respond? This talk will explore these important, rapidly evolving questions.
