Richard Miniter is an American investigative journalist and author whose articles have appeared in Politico, The New York Times, The Washington Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic Monthly, Newsweek, The New Republic, National Review, PJ Media, and Reader’s Digest.
Tomorrow, he is returning to Triggernometry, after his tremendous interview in the Spring about the history of America, to discuss the history of journalism and media from ancient times to today and how the media shapes politics and societies.
Comment your questions for Richard below.
Are there examples of times and places where distrust in media is as high as it is today? If so, how was that trust regained within those societies?
On your recommendation I read David Hacket Fisher's "Albions Seed" + other books he has written. Do you have any recommendations on the history of media? (Albions Seed is brilliant btw).
