News in a New America
Publisher: Knight Foundation | 2005 | ISBN: 0974970212 | PDF | 152 pages | 5.22 MB

Good journalists should be able to tackle any assignment, whether it is covering their own community or covering a community with which they have had little or no personal contact. In short, they should be able to give us news that is as American as America. That’s the ideal. The truth is, we all have blind spots. So it helps to make good journalism a group effort, to have colleagues – copy editors, city editors, producers and general managers with diverse backgrounds and different points of view working as a team to help the newsroom as a whole understand the community as a whole. Some newsrooms operate with a diversity model of “us and them”: White men may feel pressured to accept African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, Asians, gays and women as equal colleagues, while those journalists may feel as if they must work overtime helping white co-workers understand the world outside the mostly white newsroom. Journalists hired for their diverse views, as well as for their skills, become worn down by countless attempts to explain a story to an editor who doesn’t appreciate the basic idea that different people can be interested in different things. This is not the best scenario, nor is it the best approach. A newsroom divided cannot help America understand itself. If we are to fulfill our obligation to accurately, fairly and completely cover all segments of our communities, we as professionals must learn to talk across the fault lines of race, class, gender, generation and geography, sometimes putting aside our need to agree and striving simply to understand. My late father, Robert C. Maynard, the former editor and publisher of The Oakland Tribune, used to say that a newspaper should be a tool for community understanding, a place where you see not only your life, but also the life of your neighbor, accurately and fairly represented. I’m sure that if he were alive today, he would include broadcast, radio and the Internet in that description. These days that idea may seem a pipe dream, with blue state and red state residents seeming to turn to very different sources of news – talk radio, cable television, the Internet, the growing ethnic media that increasingly fills the needs of people who don’t otherwise see their lives accurately reflected. Yet it is that media fragmentation that makes it even more urgent to work toward understanding. As changing demographics collide with the ever-growing number of news sources, there is the danger that “mainstream” media may become a niche media in the not-so-distant future if we do not more accurately portray the daily lives of all citizens in all of our coverage.
