With the presidential race gone remote, political journalists are spending less time on the campaign trail and more time wondering how to switch-up their approach
In the mythology of political journalism, covering a presidential campaign is supposed to be a window into the soul of America.
“I am so chomping at the bit to go and engage with my fellow man,” said Kadia Goba, who recently started covering the Trump reelect for BuzzFeed. The bizarreness of 2020 campaign coverage has been an enduring reality, of course, since March. Biden’s lockdown of the nomination was basically simultaneous with the country’s coronavirus shutdown. But this August puts the surreal nature of a virtual campaign on especially vivid display.
Progressives who think contemporary American history took a dramatic wrong turn when George W. Bush eked out his astonishingly narrow victory over Al Gore—and Bush, not Gore, led the country in the wake of 9/11—may still recall the narrative wars of the 2000 campaign. On behalf of the public, he said, “Reporters in the bubble achieve unique insights into the character, background, persona and even decision-making abilities of the candidate.” The downside “can be a groupthink that takes hold among those same reporters.”
