      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 …

          Are they or are they not “the paper of record?” They help shape the narrative of other outlets’ coverage, but wash their hands of responsibility when criticized. You can’t just hand-wave that away.

          Is the Hicks piece in question defensible as fair journalism?

          Funny how this all spurned from The Left saying Maggie’s piece on Hope Hicks a piece of shit. That’s it and we get labeled “War on The NY Times.” Trump literally calls The NY Times the enemy of the people, fake News, and a supporters have sent bombs to news organizations. FFS.

          Astonishing that this long essay doesn't even mention the Times' struggle to decide if it should even report that a politician is lying. https://publiceditor.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/12/should-the-times-be-a-truth-vigilante/ …

          That piece misses the point, which is that some liberals noticed how much conservatives-working-the-refs had changed the media landscape (including at NYT), and started working the refs themselves more. As they should.

          And this thread, which seems to try to be adding subtlety about l'affaire Haberman, seems to be missing one major reason that access journalists are under greater scrutiny in the time of Trump. Because he LIES ALL THE TIME. https://twitter.com/espiers/status/1133476220874698753 …

          Hard to argue with a piece about NYT's quality that's headed with a pic of David Brooks!
