Wanted! Brave Reporter on the ‘Right-Wing Media’
27th April 2022
Back in the old days, newspapers assigned reporters to beats like Congress, the Supreme Court, the Pentagon, and Health and Human Services. Now it seems like the new beats are about covering threats, foreign and domestic – ideological threats. So The New York Times has a “climate” department. Michael Bender was recently hired to report on “Trumpism,” and the Times is seeking a political reporter on “Right Wing Media.”
In their job notice on LinkedIn, the Times warned about “the right-wing media ecosystem that now serves many conservative Americans who no longer rely on the mainstream media to inform themselves.”
The newspaper that endorsed Elizabeth Warren for president defines itself as the “mainstream media.”
