"Unveiling a Solution: Media's Approach to Covering Trump and Biden in 2024"

Martin Baron, former editor of The Washington Post, discusses how the media should cover the 2024 presidential election, emphasizing the need to report on the explicit intentions and plans of candidates like Donald Trump, while also reflecting the concerns and lives of the broader American society. Baron acknowledges the challenge of reaching a polarized audience and suggests presenting evidence in a transparent and annotated manner. He also expresses concern about the impact of generative artificial intelligence and the circulation of fake images and videos, which could affect people's votes. Baron believes it is important to explain the potential consequences of a second Trump administration, even if it reinforces his claims of media bias.
