As polarized factions in society pull apart from economic
dislocation, tribalism, and fear, and as strident attacks on the
press make its survival more precarious, the need for an
institutionally organized forum in civic life has become
increasingly important. Populist challenges amplified by a
counter-institutional media system have contributed to the
long-term decline in journalistic authority, exploiting a
post-truth mentality that strikes at its very core. In this timely
book, Stephen Reese considers these threats through a new
conception of the 'hybrid institution' an idea that extends beyond
the traditional newsroom, and distributes across multiple
platforms, national boundaries, and social actors. What is it about
the institutional press that we value, and around what normative
standards could a hybrid institution emerge? Addressing these
questions, Reese highlights how this is no time to be passive but
rather to articulate and defend greater aspirations. The
institutional press matters more than ever: a reality that must be
communicated to a public that depends on it. The Crisis of the
Institutional Press is an essential resource for students and
scholars of journalism, media and communication.
