In 2018, I spent three months in Berlin studying German "pressthink," my term for the ideas journalist hold in common. This essay summarizing what I learned was published in German and English by a leading newspaper, the FAZ.
PRESSTHINK is a project of the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University. It is written and edited by professor Jay Rosen, who has taught at NYU since 1986. The blog is about the fate of the press in a digital era and the challenges involved in rethinking what journalism is today. It presents essays, press criticism, interviews and speeches. PressThink does not accept advertising.
