"Proof your prints with this space saving desk lamp. Use it to select color swatches or samples in various lighting, all in an elegant looking desk lamp. That's 12 .2 inches high by 2 .8 inches wide by 10 inches deep and has a distance from the LEDs to the desktop of 12 inches. If photos look great on your screen and it drives you nuts that you can't view them properly once they're printed and you want to make sure that they're good to go, this is the product you want. A product that so many photographers have asked calibrite to create since way back when they were known as X right. And now it's here. So head on over to calibrite .com or heck get it at robertscamera .com. They've got it as well. They carry all calibrite products like the color checker passport, display pro and more. Next. This story is going to make me hungry because it's about a new pancake lens. I'm talking about the Cosina Voigtlander Ultron 27 millimeter F2 for Fuji X mount. The Japan based third party lens maker is further showing Fuji shooters the love with this lens, which was announced at the CP plus show earlier this year and will be available shortly. Since Fuji is APS -C crop, this 27 is actually a 40 millimeter lens in full frame terms and not close enough to 50 for me to quite get upset enough about it's just 23 .5 millimeters long. That's 0 .93 inches and weighs in at 120 grams, which is roughly 4 .23 ounces. Cosina says this lens was designed from the ground up for Fuji X mount cameras and yields high image quality from edge to edge without relying on the camera software to correct for any aberrations. This lens is constructed of six elements and four groups has an aperture range of F2 through F22 via 10 bladed aperture diaphragm and can focus as closely as 0 .25 meters, which is about 9 .8 inches. And of this camera, Cosina says quote, the aperture mechanism uses a mechanism in which the aperture ring is directly connected to the opening and closing of the aperture blades, similar to Voigtlander's VM mount and mirrorless mount lenses. With a one third step click, you can enjoy the feeling of operating the mechanism directly. End quote. That's a whole lot of mechanism talk right there. This lens has a maximum magnification ratio of one to 6 .7, a front filter size of just 43 millimeters. And even though this is a manual focus only lens, it has electronic contact so it can transmit exif data to your camera. If all of that sounds great to you, bring the butter and syrup because this new Cosina Voigtlander Ultron 27 millimeter F2 pancake lens will be released sometime in June of 2023 for roughly $537 US. Next. In other Prince news and this time I'm talking about supposed artist Richard Prince, a pair of photographers looked to be on the road to successfully proving that his use of their images was indeed copyright infringement. And to me, a lay person, not a lawyer at all. This is even more obvious than Lynn Goldsmith's case against the Andy Warhol foundation. In her case, Warhol copied her photo of Prince and stylized it. But in this case with Richard Prince, he just straight up took the photos of these two photographers, then made it look like they were an Instagram post with likes and comments, printed it really big and sold them. That's it. Weak. Very weak. The suits brought by photographers Eric McNatt and Donald Graham alleged that Richard Prince's use of their images for his new portrait series, which he in a gallery reportedly made $10 million on, were not fair use, but straight up copyright infringement. McNatt's photo was of Kim Gordon, lead singer of the group Sonic Youth, while Graham's was of a Rastafarian man smoking. I'm not going to mention what he was smoking. You know what I'm talking about. Now, I don't know what kind of art collector, and yes, I'm doing air quotes here, wants a photo of somebody made to look like they're in an Instagram post that's blown up, but to each his own, I guess. I can think of much better things to spend up to a hundred thousand dollars on than that. Anyhow, on May 12th of 2023, a Manhattan judge ruled that both photographers' suits, one of which has been going on since 2016, can proceed as Richard Prince has not proved that his new portrait series transformed the photos enough, and his ruling judge Sidney Stein said, Ultimately, this court concludes that Prince's alterations have merely modified the originals without being transformative. Defendants attempt to cast the images as satire or parody fails, and Prince's stated purpose in creating these portraits has been both inconsistent and has only limited relevance in light of the similarities between the original and the secondary works. Prince did not use plaintiff's photographs as raw material to create a collage or nor did he attempt to obscure the images. A reasonable observer would likely identify Prince's alterations as one, adding the Instagram frame and two, showcasing his own comments. These modifications clearly do not begin to approach the alterations found to be transformative as a matter of law in the Kerou and Blanche cases, end quote. So these cases by these two photographers continue now, and I have a feeling they're going to beat Richard Prince and finally hold him to account for his use of their images, which is clearly copyright infringement in my opinion. Again, not an attorney like Richard Prince, not an artist in my opinion. Next. China based third party lens maker Viltrox has just announced a new 16 millimeter F 1 .8 autofocus lens for full frame Sony E -mount with a pretty nifty feature up top, an LCD screen. This new 16 one eight is constructed of 15 elements in 12 groups, including three is spherical elements and four extra low dispersion elements for what the company says yields ultra high resolution while controlling dispersion, ghosting and flare. It also has an aperture range of F 1 .8 through F 22 with a nine bladed aperture diaphragm and produces beautiful bouquet. That's their words. A stepping motor drives the AF of this lens for precise autofocus, which works in tandem with Sony's tracking technology, including both face and IAF. But the thing that most people are going to notice right away that's unusual about this lens is the rectangular color LCD screen that sits atop the barrel between the aperture

"Is breaking this news and then it kind of became a thing and I think moments like that really had me thinking differently about journalism and I think immediately, especially because I felt like I had so many eyeballs that were paying attention to that tweet or any tweets that I was sending from being on the ground there. It made me think about the responsibility of being a journalist in a different way than I thought about before, because you know, as a newspaper journalist, you have to wait until the next day for the paper to come out. It's not happening in real time in the moment. And I was literally on that ground getting phone calls from news outlets, TV outlets, asking to get me on the phone to provide any kind of context and it was overwhelming, but also dare I say it gave me a bit of an adrenaline rush. And I liked being the person responsible for telling big impactful stories like that in the arts entertainment space. And of course, as these things go, I was laid off after a year at USA Today after running away from the Chicago Tribune. Because I didn't want to be laid off. I was laid off literally after a year at USA Today and I didn't even have a time to think about what I wanted to do next. Thankfully, because at that point, the news of the Emmy win, and had been written about and it was out there. And honestly, the conversation as it was relate to me from different editors or even producers and other outlets. They were like, why would they lay off a woman who has this kind of a vision, you know, who can do this kind of a thing? And honestly, I think it was just the numbers game. They were probably laying out people who had the least amount of seniority because you have to think about severance pay and all of those things, but because those stories were out and because someone Richard prince who covers journalism and journalists wrote about the woman who won the Emmy, the newspaper reporter who won the Emmy was laid off. So I started getting phone calls immediately. And the first phone call I got was from a network. And it was ESPN. And they had the site it's been dot com, but they had a site page two specifically at the time that focused on things off the court off the field, like entertainment doing doings. But page two. You page two, page two, and what was so great about page two in my page to freelance experience is they didn't want me to just write. They wanted me to do video too at times. And I did, in some cases, I traveled the world doing pieces for them. I went to tequila, Mexico with Oscar De La Hoya. I went to Scotland with Jeremy shockey, you know? And I was finding stories at an intersection of sports and entertainment, and I wasn't always writing. I was doing video, which I had not professionally prepared to do. So I was really learning on the job. We're going to take a quick break to hear from our sponsor and we'll be right back. I'm Christina ko associate editor at custom. Digiday medias in-house agency. In this podcast interstitial story sponsored by mountain, we speak with Ali Hari, the company's vice president of marketing, about the creative production side of connected TV and how commercials are ripe for change. Which stands out to me the most is advertising that capitalizes on a cultural moment. That may be something that's happening in the news, something that's happening in pop culture. Whenever you see an advertisement that acknowledges it, it's just inherently more noticeable to reviewer. TV by nature has a slower production cycle. Because of this, many advertisers have begun to explore platforms that allow them to be self sufficient and manage their own production cycles. In order to better respond to cultural moments and hopefully create more effective TV commercials. TV advertising is one of those channels that's not really the quickest to market when it comes to creativity. The production of the creative is certainly going to take a lot of time effort and money. And we've been kind of blown away at the creativity that it's unlocked. A lot of advertisers found themselves being self sufficient with TV advertising the same way that they are with social media. That means quicker speed to market, and then there's measurement with performance a huge focus for CTV advertisers. Ali told us how brand marketers are finding ways to integrate metrics into their creative processes without completely disrupting those processes. The interesting thing about ETV is that despite the fact that it's so performance driven. You know, it's programmatic advertising. You can measure it very similar to all the other performance marketing channels that you have. It shouldn't really change the role of the brand marketer or their creative process. We're not asking brand marketers to completely change the way that they think creatively about TV advertising. We still want really clever ads. But what we think is particularly fascinating as an opportunity for brand marketers is the fact that on the back end of campaigns, you're now empowered with so much more information that you can act on in the way of measurability. Being able to precisely know how many people visited a website, how many people bought a product, which networks showed an ad. These sorts of things are just, they're not metrics that brand marketers are used to. And using this granular data into the creative process shouldn't really, again, unlock some really interesting ideas. With so many channels moving toward personalization, it's no surprise that CTV is falling suit as well. With a difference in production cycles for CTV, it's key that advertisers make the most out of their production shoots, and find ways to strategically personalize their creatives. With personalization, what's great now is that advertisers, they're kind of freed up in a way. You don't need to put all your eggs in that one basket of that one who created running in that one placement. We've seen some advertisers shoot largely the same creative, but leave about 5% of it to be sort of altered based off of the different audiences that they're targeted. It's things like that that really drive great performance. You've been listening to ally Hariri. Vice president of marketing at mountain, our.

"I'm personally struggling with the deaf. Just the straight up definition so the words fair use and transformative fair. Used to me like it. Okay so let let's take warhol versus goldsmith and as our example because this is of course where we started to me under the term fair use. The image that goldsmith had created was not in the public domain anywhere was an unpublished for that anti world. Somehow got a hold of and then decided to create the screen prints off which then he turned around and licensed to this conde nast publication. None of that sounds like fair. Use to me i mean everything in there is copyrighted because that photograph was copyrighted at creation. So they didn't need to file anything they didn't have to have it published anything like that so it was already copyrighted to goldsmith. But yet andy warhol took it without permission and made a piece of art which the then sold for millions of dollars and of course then licensed to conde nast. None of that sounds like fair. Use to me as from the side of being a practitioner. Yeah we have to remember that the copyright law is a balancing act so it's gotta give an incentive to authors to create works but copyright lasts a long time. It's the life of the author plus seventy years. That's a long time to have you know a monopoly on rights and you have to balance that against the rights of others to come common use copyrighted material to create new material with different meeting and message other artists benefit from that and the public benefits from that i think the the maryland like the gold maryland's and of course all the maryland's create a didn't pay. I forget what the photography african photographers real name but saga for. Who took the picture of maryland. Didn't get a payment t. For andy from andy warhol when he sold those pieces for millions of dollars using the photograph that this photographer took to me as photographer hordley inappropriate. I think the best way to think of fair uses that it is illegal defense so yes. There's no dispute that it's a copyrighted. Work that is entitled to full protection under the law. The law also creates defenses to combat certain claims. Just like you have the defense of a statute of limitations. Someone might have a very legitimate case to pursue but they may have waited too long to file it and even though there's merit there you have the legal defense of sayings barred by the statute of limitations. Therefore you have clint here. Goldsmith had copyright protection in her photograph but the law created another defense of fair use to say yes even though you have a viable claim of copyright we are creating this area of the law to allow for further expression of these all right but then within that the the nature. The thing that concerns me about it as the photograph. That gold's took which andy warhol then transformed. There is no quantifiable way to describe or or delineate. The amount of transformation that's necessary because like richard richard prince changing it from a photograph to a painting somehow became somehow transformative enough even though it was literally a direct copy of it. But that's not enough like me. Because i know a lot of painters who actually will paint portraits from photographs. So that's just like that's just being a painter that's not transformative so like what is the quantifiable definition. That says transformative enough. That's really the magic question. That's what the court has been wrestling with through these. Two rounds of decisions is is..

"I understand from a legal standpoint. Why goldsmiths attorney said. Oh the easiest one to go. After is the image that was used on the vanity fair cover it was vanity fair right. Yes okay. I'm just i'm just making sure i don't wanna slander some other publication. It was infinity fair. Okay so why. Why did goldsmith nocco. After all the other editions of paintings. That andy warhol did using her photograph possibly because goldsmith had a very small lawyer and understood that the you know the this issue is market effect. The other works are in the hands of museums and collectors. And that's not an area that goldsmith gets involved in with with her photographs versus magazines. So as the court said this opinion was was specifically limited to goldsmiths request for damages and royalties for any licensed reproductions of the prince shirts. And that was the one instance that it occurred right but in my mind but like okay. But andy warhol and you know as much as i admire andy warhol some. But i'm so bad mouth. A little bit on this. is he stole. Somebody's photograph and then silk screened it and then called it art and he threw a couple pieces of paint on it and some color. Okay fought but it still was. He used somebody else's image without their permission called it his own and sold it for millions of dollars. Nothing's inappropriate or illegal there. I mean he said you steal but that's an assumption you can take it if it's fair use. It doesn't matter that you asked or you didn't ask. And there are so many instances under the under the law and history where people borrow and they take and they make something new and that's perfectly fine. I'm eric used on that. Because i don't i basically i don't understand what constitutes the ability to just take me to like so if i hack into somebody else's computer got their photos lower. Let's no here. i'll give you perfect example of what people can do. Because richard prince did this so like i go to instagram and i find some photos and i think they're lovely and i'm like oh you know what i should paint those exact same photographs and then i'll sell them as paintings. That's okay even the exact copies of it caffeine. It's really a case by case analysis. And you have to look at whether there's a new meaning or message. I mean going back. We have jeff. Koons is another artist who has been sued a number of times. And you know maybe you remember the string of puppies case from a long time ago but there was a greeting card where this couple was have had like seven or eight puppies in their arms. Like a string of puppies in this greeting card. Jeff koons sees that and creates a sculpture of the greeting card. The string of puppies so it's a different medium same expression but different media and the question was whether that was a fair use and in that decision. The court said oh. This was a long time ago and some would argue that the law has changed in the interim in that case it was held to be no. But you know. I think in other instances could be fair use. The wa- wants to protect people who have something new to say in some ways and this is even true in the case you could make the argument that the recent decision and the finding of no fair uses an attack on the first amendment. Indeed there is an emeka spree at submitted in the case making that exact argument so there is a desire of course to want to encourage and protect new expression. And that's why would a million said is true..

"Use the case of carrier versus brett's case that many people in the art world familiar with where the appropriation artist. Richard prince made fair use of a number of photographs taken by patrick carey. You're shaking your head there. Matt i have a love hate relationship with mr prints. Yes i would imagine. A number of photographers do so. What prince did here was. Incorporated carriers photographs into a series of paintings and collages and the court found that what he did was transformative. At least he did an entire series of works specifically they found the twenty five out of the thirty or transformative he took carry us initial photographs of rastafarians and which conveyed more of a serene composed setting and by his imposition of color distorted. Human forms made something that was more crude and jarring and created a complete different aesthetic. So relying on that prior decision and how the court define what's transformative. Judge koto found that. What andy warhol did here was a fair use and therefore there was no copyright infringement. That held up until just this year. And amelia take the next step so miss goldsmith appealed and the second circuit in new york. A panel of three federal appellate judges overturned judge kohl's ruling which i'm sure just judge kotal just thought he was following the law that the second circuit the appellate court had created in that richard prince case from a few years back and the court said well. We're not you know we're not overturning. That decision in the richard prince case but the decision below causes us to think that some clarification of our prior ruling is in order. And what we held in the carry case was really the high water. Mark a fair use and here. We're looking at the goldsmith photo. And the warhol work and the warhol work is not transformative because they both function as a depiction of what the recording artist prince looks like. That's pretty shocking. At least it was to me because you know. In advising a number of people on both sides of the fence in terms of bringing a copyright infringement claim or defending against one. A lot of attorneys thought.

"Just because you know going back to the friends episode. Like i really felt the love and just felt so lucky to have my girlfriends in my life. So that was that was incredible. I will say But you know. I really wanted this episode to be about surviving your twenties because at this point i'm a year and a little bit in and it feels really scary. So let's just say that right off the bat so just as a little life update as well. I took a semester off of college. I go to nyu and i'm in gallatin studying fashion business. But i took a semester off to do the bachelor and so i have a few credits that i still need to make up and i will be doing those over the summer so i have two classes this summer. I'm taking a contemporary art class. Which is really cool. Because i don't listen to my dad enough. And i'm also taking a fashion class so that will be really fun but i just think like the post grad period can be so tough. I have tons of friends that you know we talk about this all the time how hard this period can be because you really want to graduate college and then hit the ground running in like really start getting your dreams together and striving towards your dream career and you know i don't have it all figured out. I don't think anyone does. But i was reading an article and In it they talked about clinical psychologist at folk and he defines the quarter life crisis period. Which happens in your twenties. Usually a little bit later. But i definitely feel it coming on now and he defines this as a period of insecurity doubt and disappointment surrounding your career relationships and financial situation so i completely feel that and i hope that you guys can kind of relate to that a little bit You know i. I don't have it figured out. And i think we're living in a time when it appears as though everyone has it together because of social media because everyone's posting their accolades compliments and they're perfect relationships in the perfect jobs and it might look like that from my social media but i definitely don't feel that way i've definitely had points in my life that other people might consider regrets or failures like the fact that i went to usc for a year and a half and then transferred. I think that that was an example of a time. When i thought you know i wanna go to. Usc i want to go to film school i wanna be director etc and i realized i didn't want to do that And i wanted to pursue fashion. And i wanted to learn more about an industry that i was raised around but didn't have any formal background in and that you know was an amazing switch up for me. I'm in a much better place with school now. And another example is you know. I started my company in college. I started doing artists collaborations. And i you know now. That project has taken a bit of a back burner. I don't know if i will pick it up again and do more or this collaborations but it's definitely slower and i'm not as invested in it as i once was so you know looking back though. I think that it's an amazing thing. Like i've been able to work with huge. Contemporary artists like richard prince and mark grow john von span. And that was a learning experience for me you know..

"Xena Vega and we're talking about the media coverage of the bite administration so far, and some of the other big media stories of the past week with journalists Richard Prince and journalism professor Jay Rosen. Jay, Let's turn to some news here. The New York Times fired freelance editor Lauren Wolfe after she tweeted quote Biden landing at Joint base. Andrews. Now I have chills. Is her firing. What's her firing signify? Because we know The Times has also been caught up in a lot of questions about its caliphate podcast and the daily and other issues. So why this emphasis on firing Lauren? Well, we don't know the back story. I don't I don't have sources that would tell me what the history of this appointment is. S O. I think we should be a little cautious about that. How? However what strikes me about it is that the The Times has a kind of a policy that Yeah. It discourages, and that penalizes journalists on its staff for saying things that critics that the Times might perceive as Um, bias, and when you're measuring stick is the perception of critics. You've entered a very dangerous territory because the are many people in this country who would love for the New York Times to simply expire. And they are constantly claiming bias. And they constantly say that New York Times is against them. And if the perceptions of those people And edit your staff. You have an effect handed power to your critics to the people who want you dead, and that is something that the Times has done before. It's sort of written into its social media guidelines, which say you shouldn't do anything that critics will perceive as biased. On. I find that hole. A problem of person perceived bias versus actual room performance. To be the heart of this issue, and I'm not sure the editors have a good handle on it. Should in full disclosure. I should say I have worked as a reporter at The New York Times for a few years, Richard another issue that we don't want to beat up on The New York Times here, But these air news Elements that have come into our our purview. Earlier this week, The New York Times published an article about European neo Nazis that Becca Lewis, who's a researcher who studies the far right criticized On bits sort of has the sense that early on in when the media was covering the quote unquote All right. The media writ large was covered for was criticized for their coverage of the all right for giving them sort of glossy, You know, centerpieces and photos that were flattering. What are your thoughts on this? Is there still an issue Richard and how mainstream outlets are covering white supremacists. Yes, there is. But to Jane's point, let me just quickly say that it depends on whose criticism uh, eyes being listened to. I mean the time has been criticized on many different kinds of issues from many different kinds of people for years, and not just the times, all media, but some people's criticism apparently counts. More than others, eh? So let me just make that distinction about perceived bias now on the issue of White supremacy. I think that He's you know, I am I wrote about the statement by the news killed right after the storming of the capital, and they laid the whole That's the whole issue but met much of issue to media literacy. Um yeah, and that misinformation and it said here, um, I'm just gonna quote them. It's clear that we need to prioritize media literacy in our education system. Too many people except lies a conspiracy theories as fact, media literacy education would provide our Children with the skills necessary to understand the intent behind messages. Understanding bias. Is there many facts and fiction and looking for alternative sources of information, and they also went on Tonto to put some of the blame. At the at the evisceration of these papers and his many of whom are being bought up by hedge funds, the news old being cut its neck protector. So therefore set this whole issue of white supremacy. White nationalism is national fishing, not just in Washington. All those places that have new deserts, whether you can't get the local information that they need are feeding. This information, the white supremacy, the social media networks, and that is that the problem that course we need to address is well. Jay, What are your thoughts on that? I mean, has the media quote unquote, the media gotten better or more specific, or, you know, less afraid I should say of calling out racism. There's been a change in that and they're freer to say this is racist. I think there has been more suspicion of euphemisms. That kind of cushion the blow trump racially tinged. Yeah, things like that, Um, I think Trump forced to kind of reckoning. With that, Although our earliest subject The New York Times still has this funny way of talking where it's very formal in its language, and Kind of distant and institutional in its voice, and that should be discord in a lot of times with some of the very threatening realities that are in the news these days. But, yeah, I have been a little bit more direct. In that way was one of the results of the trump years, as well as more willingness to say this is untrue. This is a lie to confront falsehood directly those for some of the big changes we saw in journalism over the last five years. And Richard, do you? What do you want to see More media outlets do to address? You know some of these coverage issues going forward. Is it a question of, you know, hiring more people of color? Is it a question of really understanding? What? What should they be doing right now? Well, having more people of color. Is it certainly, uh, part of the part of the resolution of this, uh, just just more sensitivity to The diversity in this country on I have to go back again, Tonto to the whole issue of media literacy. It's just alarming that you have all these people out there who just refused to believe the truth. And the media have a role in establishing trust in And the truth that they are are putting out there so that people don't do that, Richard. Is it a question of the media? Not being clear enough in its, uh, questioning, for example. Yeah, but I just think it Z too many people who are dismissive of the truth. And how do we deal with that? I just We just have to educate the public A little A little, uh, a little better and And do what's necessary internally. So that the truth that they will, um understand is is relevant to them.

"All this. Richard Prince is a journalist who writes a column on journalism's dot com about diversity issues in the news media, Richard Thanks for joining us We had to be here. Also with us is Jay Rosen, author of Press. Think, a block about journalism in the digital age and a professor of journalism at New York University. J. Thanks for joining us Thanks, Tyne. Xena. We'll start with you. J. We had about a week of White House press briefings under the by an administration. Your assessment so far, journalist doing the right thing. Think it's a return to normal. That is, in many ways Welcome. They certainly know how to ask questions and coupled, Ah government accountable and it'll It'll be a much different atmosphere than under Trump, who, very often tried to position journalists as hate objects in order to Um, fire up his own supporters. It's a very different approach coming from the bottom government, and it was really quite, um Quite reassuring to see a normal press conference, not only at the White House but at the State Department were answers to questions that government officials should have Were given. So so far so good on that front, Richard your thoughts on the press briefings from the White House so far. I think that's great. I agree with totally with J. But I think that the real problem is not what is said from the political but how it's received. That is, ah lot of people who are because of all the disinformation they have they taken in, Uh, just don't want to believe what the White House says what the press says. On. They're stuck in their silos. I fox news or similar operations, and they only will only believe what but they sold by by those those organizations. I am curious about that. Because you've written a lot about mean. We are coming out of the age of our at least the administration of misinformation. But often I say this is the age of misinformation. You've written a lot about mainstream outlets running into problems when how they framed political issues. Have you noticed this playing out in the days since President Trump left office, which we should say we are still very early early into the Biden administration? I think the looming problem for the press is not covering briefings, which are quite normal. Um, it's something very different, which is that We have a political press that's premised its work on a kind of image of politics, in which two major parties are roughly similar in the way they organize themselves, and they have different philosophies and they fight it out for political advantage in elections and then a day to day of politics and that picture of the world Is underneath her serves as a foundation for journalistic practice, And that was a big problem during the trump years because he didn't obey any of those assumptions. But it's even more of a problem now because the Republican Party has beauty hated into something else, and I don't think our journalists are quite prepared to deal. With a party that is counter majoritarian mean it doesn't respect the principle of majority rule in for example, elections which is trying to make it harder for people that protects his paid and the vote. Which it refuses to cut off its white supremacist wing and its and as a OSI said last night draws energy from it. On and is also completely hostile to evidence and fax and as the real looking party could've devolves in that direction. The rules of journalism as usual simply don't apply anymore, and you can't have this sort of routines of balance and get a comment from one side and comment from the other side because you have a kind of Ah World or destructive element right at the center of our politics, and I think that dealing with that Republican party, which is anti Democratic, is going to be the major puzzle for journalists in the years ahead. Richard. I'm curious. They're one of the things that journalist to Jake's point were criticized for into the Trump administration was attempting T o to hold up that value of sort of both sides ism. If you will, under the guise of some quote, unquote objectivity. Have we been able to break out of that more now than we were four years ago so far? Oh, yes, somewhat. We've learned our lessons in some ways, but the the issue still remains of how what we say is received. By the general public and by the way, the Doubters on haters and that to the issue of trust in the news media. Um regardless of all these other issues, and And that leads us to other issues. Such is who was delivering the news how it supported what their frame of reference is our and and that means it's also to the issue of diversity and inclusion, and that's something else that while this whole something was going on last year in the elections It was also the joy of Stuart, Florida. Killing and that sort of shit from news media as well as the rest of the country into more introspection about the way they're reporting on Who's doing who was doing the reporting and editing. So I think that's it's It's a really complicated jumble. I'm wondering if we might be able to start as journalists to start laying some of the foundation for trust with the American public. Um as we head into a new administration, but we're gonna have to take a quick break. We'll talk more about that and other issues of journalism under the bite administration in just a moment. Stick with us. It's the takeaway..
The Takeaway
"richard prince" Discussed on The Takeaway
"In her first. Press briefing white house press secretary jen psaki set out to underscore just how different the biden administration would be. Its approach to the press from its predecessor. There will be times when we see things differently in this room. I mean among all of us. That's okay That's part of our democracy and rebuilding trust with the american people will be central to our focus in the press office in the white house every single day for many white house reporters sake style is a welcome change from the more outwardly. Combative trump era press secretary's but figuring out how to properly hold president biden accountable. Even as the new administration emphasizes its commitment to a return to normal is just one of the calculations that journalists have had to make in recent weeks. I've got to folks here to help us talk about all this. Richard prince's a journalist who writes a column on journalism dot com about diversity issues in the news media richard. Thanks for joining us crabby here. Also with us. Jay rosen author of press. Think a blog about journalism in the digital age and a professor of journalism at new york university. Jay thanks for joining us. Thanks tanzania we'll start with you jay. We had about a week of white house. Press briefings under the biden administration your assessment so far journalists doing the right thing. I think it's a return to normal. That is in many ways Welcome they certainly know how to ask questions. And and old A government accountable. And it'll it'll be a much different atmosphere than under trump who very often tried to position journalists as hate objects in order to fire up his own. Supporters is a very different approach coming from the biden government and it was really quite Quite reassuring to see a normal press conference not only at the white house but at the state department. We're answers to questions that government officials should have were given so so far so good on that front. Richard your thoughts on the press briefings from the white house so far. I think that's great. I agree totally with jay. But i think that the the real problem is not what is said from the podium. But how it's received that is a lot of people who are because of all the information they have they taken and Just don't wanna believe What the white house is what the press says And they're stuck in their silos i- fox news or similar operations and they only will only believe what but all by by those those organizations jay. I'm curious about that because you've written a lot about I mean we are coming out of the the age of or at least the administration of misinformation. But often i say this is the age of misinformation You've written a lot about mainstream outlets running into problems when how they frame political issues Have you noticed this playing out in the days since president trump left office which we should say we are still very early early into the biden administration. Think the looming problem for the press is not covering briefings which is quite normal. It's something very different. Which is set. We have a political press premised. Its work on a kind of image of politics in which two major parties are roughly similar in the way they organize themselves. They have different philosophies and they fight it out for political advantage elections and then a day to day of politics and that picture of the world is underneath serves as a foundation for journalistic practice And that was a big problem during the trump ears because he didn't obey any of those assumptions. But it's even more of a problem now because the republican party has mutated into something else. And i don't think our journalists are quite prepared to deal with a party that is counter majoritarian mean. It doesn't respect the principle of majority rule in for example elections which is trying to make it harder for people to participate and vote Which it refuses to a cutoff. It's a white supremacist. Weighing an it's an as a said last night draws energy from it and is also a completely hostile to evidence and facts and as the republican party coulda devolve in that direction the the rules of journalism as usual simply don't apply anymore and you can't have this routines of balanced and get comment from one side and comment from the other side because you have a kind of a low or destructive element right at the center of our politics and i think that dealing with that republican party which is tied democratic is going to be the major puzzle for journalists in the years ahead and richard. I'm curious there. One of the things that journalist to j. point were criticized for into the trump administration was attempting to to to hold up that value of sort of both sides if you will under the guise of quote unquote Have we been able to break out of that More now than we were four years ago so far. Oh yes. I'm what we've learned our lessons in some ways but the The issue still remains of how what we say is received By the journal. Publican by the you know the the doubters and and haters And that gets to the issue of trust in the news media and Regardless of all these other issues and and that leads us to other issues such as who was delivering. The news reported weapon. Frame of references are and and that is also to the issue of diversity and inclusion. And that's something else that's while this whole trump thing was going on last year in the elections. It was also the joyce joy floor it down Killing and that sort of Shook the news media as well as the rest of the country into More introspection about The way they're reporting And who's doing the doing the reporting editing. So i think that it's a really complicated jumble. J. let's turn to some news here. The new york times fired freelance editor lauren. Wolf after she tweeted quote biden landing at joint base andrews. Now i have. Chills is her firing. What's our firing signify. Because we know the times has also been caught up in a lot of questions about Its caliphate podcast and the daily another issue. So why this emphasis on on firing lauren. Well we don't know the back story. I don't i don't have sources that would tell me what the history of this appointment is So i think we should be a little cautious about that. How however what. What strikes me about it is that the times has a kind of policy that it it discourages and penalizes journalists on its staff for saying things that critics of the times might perceive as Bias and when your measuring stick is the perception of critics. You've entered a very dangerous territory because the are many people in this country would love for the new york times to simply expire and they are constantly claiming bias and they constantly said the new york times against them. And if the perception of those people can edit your staff you.
