      Jeet Heer Retweeted Brian Stelter

      I agree that most of the criticism of Haberman is overwrought & misplaced. But the core problem is that the protocols of access journalism, which are dodgy even in a normal presidency, seem grotesque when used for Trump administration.https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/1133467137400557569 …

      I'm told "access journalism" is too pejorative. Okay, let's call it beat journalism. Same issue applies: does the normal protocols of beat journalism really work when dealing with Trump & his crew? It's an open question.

      Haberman is a terrific reporter in no small part because she has great sources, assiduously cultivated. In this case that means Trump & his cronies. This has been crucial to some of the most vivid & damaging reports we have about Trump's court. But it comes at a price.

      Jeet Heer Retweeted John O'Neil

      This is very true & is why I think the freak-out over Haberman is wrong-headed. Times has a variety of approaches to Trump: Haberman's beat coverage is one but there's also non-beat investigative reporting (like the great tax articles):https://twitter.com/THAToneil/status/1133478717060206593 …

      Newspapering is a team sport. You need insiders and outsiders, and it's rarely wise to judge one person's role in a vacuum.

          One other dynamic at work is liberals tend to over-obsess about the NY Times & its coverage. My former colleague @GrahamVyse wrote a good piece on this:https://newrepublic.com/article/146828/lefts-war-new-york-times …

          maybe the times could just fire their headline writers and whoever is in charge of editorials and op-eds?

          Right. But the Times, as part of its team approach, chooses to publish a piece that flatters a subject in return for more access. The trade off here is not worth it for anyone-readers who are shamelessly spun, the NYT, Haberman-except for Hope Hicks

          If a good citizen sees a vacuous piece with framing that favors authoritariansm, the good citizen has a responsibility to point that out and call attention to it. During "interesting" times, the responsibility is greater.

          If journalists can't handle the criticism, they probably shouldn't be in the business. Alternatively, be careful what you write - especially during "interesting" times.

          What is the purpose of a glamorous puff piece on Hicks if not to trade positive coverage for access? What is the correct term for this type of journalism?

          Is it really that much of a freak-out? Or just a very, very bad headline that frames the story in a really poor way for the readers of The Times?
