Donald Trump, American authoritarianism and how journalists should cover it
An excellent dissection of the unique challenge Donald Trump poses for journalism, and how most media organisations are repeating their mistakes from 2016. A recording of a lecture given by Nick Bryant, former BBC US correspondent. One key quote: «In trying to be normal ourselves, we normalised him.»
