PAW Reunions Panel: How the News Media Covers the MAGA Movement
from Princeton Alumni Weekly Podcasts · host Princeton Alumni Weekly
How is the news media covering the MAGA movement? Four journalists and a Princeton historian during the Princeton Alumni Weekly’s 2025 Reunions panel delved into questions about reporting on Trump voters, whether the press should use the word “lie,” today’s fragmented media landscape, and how even the most explosive investigations don’t spur change the way they used to. Said Kathy Kiely ’77, of the Missouri School of Journalism: “The press is doing its job, but Congress, there’s no sign of vertebrate life up there. If Congress and the other institutions in our democracy aren’t responding to those stories, then it is like the tree falling in the forest.” For this episode of the PAWcast, we’re pleased to share a recording of the session.
