What should journalists do when the facts don’t matter?

Media historian Michael J. Socolow explores this rather bleak question for @ConversationUS. He argues that while not perfect, the American media largely did its job this year.

"Ultimately, the First Amendment protects the right of journalists to report, publish and broadcast, but it can’t force citizens to read, listen, absorb or learn. In that sense, journalism didn’t fail us – we failed journalism."
