      Going forward, to avoid crippling groupthink, we absolutely must develop new modes of journalism. It's crucial.https://medium.com/@mtracey/we-need-new-modes-of-journalism-and-you-need-to-pay-for-it-e5d1dfdd9b51#.o3flp5uol …

      Journalists feign awareness of their susceptibility to groupthink ("the bubble") but they never take tangible steps to actually address it.

          They deemed the race "over" and concluded that talking to voters in distant "swing states" was no longer worth the time or effort.

          First of all, even if the race really had been "over" at that point, talking to voters in the country would still have been "worth it."

          Sitting around manically refreshing @FiveThirtyEight all day doesn't give you any useful information. Talking to voters does.

          Because journalists ceased talking to voters, they could not discern the late shifts that were pivotal in tipping the race to Trump. #fail

          That's not really enough. There needs to be greater geographic diversity. Everyone is cloistered in 3-4 coastal cities.

          Mainstream media coverage of topics you're an expert on is identical to its coverage of everything else. Let that sink in for a bit
