Journalists Not Hard Enough on Trump, UMass Journalism Professors Say

February 16, 2017

One journalism professor at the panel discussion at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst suggested that reporters stop covering President Donald Trump as much. A public radio reporter suggested another approach:  “If you are truly interested in what Trump supporters are thinking, you might want to spend some time really trying to listen to what they say to you and take it a little bit beyond the normal defensiveness that tends to happen in these conversations.”
