    Lydia Polgreen Editor-in-Chief, HuffPost Media Masters – April 4, 2019 Listen to the podcast online, visit www.mediamasters.fm Welcome to Media Masters, a series of one to one interviews with people at the top at the media game. Today I’m here in New York and joined by Lydia Polgreen, editor-in-chief of HuffPost. Appointed in 2016, she previously spent 15 years at the New York Times where she served as foreign correspondent in Africa and Asia. She received numerous awards for her work, including a George Polk award for her coverage of ethnic violence in Darfur in 2006. Lydia carried out a number of roles at the Times, most recently as editorial director of NYT global. She’s also a board member at Columbia Journalism Review, and the Committee to Protect Journalists. Lydia, thank you for joining me. It’s a pleasure to be here. So Lydia, editor-in-chief of HuffPost, obviously an iconic brand with an amazing history. Where are you going to take it next? Well, I think past is prologue and the future is unknown. Oh, that’s good. I like that already. We’re starting off on the deeply profound. Continue! Well, I think for media right now, it’s a really fascinating moment of both rediscovery of our roots – and those roots really lie in what’s at the core of journalism, which is exposing things that weren’t meant to be known, or that people, important people especially, don’t want to be known, and bringing them to light.

  • Liberal Parents, Liberal Children | Huffpost
    Liberal Parents, Liberal Children | HuffPost US EDITION T H E B LOG 01/26/2009 05:12 am ET| Updated May 25, 2011 Liberal Parents, Liberal Children By Marty Kaplan When it comes to politics, today’s college freshmen resemble their baby boomer parents of 40 years ago in all ways except two. One way makes perfect sense; the other is a puzzle. The evidence about kids and their parents isn’t anecdotal; it’s documented in a study just released by UCLA’s Higher Education Research Institute, which has been investigating the attitudes of a massive national sample of American freshmen since the 1960s. More freshmen today say they frequently discuss politics than at any time since Lyndon Johnson announced that he wouldn’t run for re-election. Just since 2000, that slice of young people — 35.6 percent — has more than doubled, and it even exceeds by a couple of points the previous high-water mark, when Richard Nixon was elected president. When you add in the number of today’s freshmen who say they occasionally discuss politics, you’re talking about nearly 86 percent of them, another record. Today, the proportion of freshmen calling themselves liberal has hit 31 percent, the highest it’s been in 35 years. At the same time, the number of students calling their political views middle-of-the-road has hit an all-time low, just over 43 percent, territory it hasn’t been in since 1970. Only one out of five students today describes him or herself as conservative, an erosion of more than two points since the year before.

Moreover, the media has become increasingly polarized whereby certain media outlets intensify perceived differences between racial and ethnic groups, political alignments, and religious affiliations.

  • Presidential Fatigue Hits Gen Z Users, Shows Oath's News Data
    Presidential Fatigue Hits Gen Z Users, Shows Oath’s News Data By [oath News Team] -- TBC Source: oath News Analytics - Longitudinal Trends across Generation X, Millennial, and Generation Z The common assumption is that anyone engaged in current events today is focused on U.S. politics, but the data shows that it actually depends on your generation. Gen Z is focused on a diverse array of issues and are largely isolated from the obsessive focus on national politics seen in other generations. Since they are the next generation to come online as voters (beginning in 2018 for the oldest Gen Zers), should we be concerned for the next election? Oath News data on longitudinal trends across Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z show that while the November 8th presidential election drew people from all age groups on presidential topics, trends for Gen X and Millennial are also similar. Gen Z has the most diverse interest over time and was the only group with significant discussion in international politics and society related stories. The US elections, Brexit, France’s landmark presidential election, and the unfortunate terrorist attacks over the past year prompted us to dig deeper into our news platform, to see how these events may have impacted our communities. This analysis was conducted through a review of over 100 million comments, of which 3 million were analyzed to define the top 10 trending US hosted articles per month ranked by total comments. Included in this analysis were comments generated within the flagship mobile app Newsroom iOS and Android, and across our biggest news platforms Yahoo.com and Yahoo News.
