Shift in Media Landscape and the Loss of Mission
According to Steve Krakauer, who has been a journalist and media executive, there has been a significant shift in the media landscape in the past decade. He points out that around 2014-2015, with the rise of social media and the entry of Donald Trump into politics, there was a drastic change in the media's approach. There was a loss of the mission to be fair and balanced, and instead, media outlets started to create a context in which their biases and lies made more sense. Krakauer emphasizes the need to regain the news media's mission and correct the broken media landscape.
