EDITORIAL How will the media cover a post-Trump world? iven that we’re coming up on the end of the Trump era, it’s completely reasonable to wonder what effects the incoming administration might have on our newsrooms. To put Git bluntly: what the hell is the press going to talk about once their favorite villain is gone? EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Back in early 2018, less than a year into Trump’s presidency, O’Dwyer’s reported that the tu- Kevin McCauley multuous Trump presidency appeared to be driving a comeback in paid news subscriptions. [email protected] Pundits and columnists began referring to this phenomenon as the “Trump Bump”: Americans dismayed by the specter of a Trump White House were stricken with a newfound urgency to PUBLISHER be informed and politically engaged, resulting in a surge in cable news network viewers, online John O’Dwyer news traffic and, notably, subscriptions at national broadsheet papers, reinvigorating readership [email protected] at flagging publications we’d been told for years had one foot in the grave.

The fact is, a President that EDITORIAL ASSISTANTS supplies one crisis after another has been a boon for the news media. But alas, all “good” things & RESEARCH come to an end. Trump wasn’t wrong in Sept. when he tweeted that the “fake” media companies Jane Landers are “going to miss me, very badly!!!” Indeed, what are they going to talk about when the crisis Melissa Webell casino shuts down? And most importantly, who’s going to listen? Presumably, subscriptions will slow, clicks will disappear and ad budgets will wither.

Newsrooms have been on shaky ground for years, lost in a sea of layoffs [email protected] and buyouts as ad revenues continue to be siphoned by platforms like Google and Facebook.

    This issue brought to you by New Jersey Governor: Can Murphy Break The Curse? By Jacob Rubashkin FEBRUARY 5, 2021 VOLUME 5, NO. 3 Not long ago, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was riding the wave of a re-election win into a top-tier presidential bid. A few years later, politics on the ground have shifted, and Garden State Republicans are grasping 2022 Senate Ratings for power, just hoping to stay competitive in this year’s gubernatorial contest. BATTLEGROUND New Jersey is one of two states (Virginia is the other) that will elect a Democratic-Held (4) Republican-Held (4) governor this year, posing as the appetizer for 2022, when 36 states will Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) NC Open (Burr, R) host a gubernatorial election. Politicos will be looking at both 2021 races Hassan (D-N.H.)

Solid Democratic (10) Solid Republican (16) Lay of the Land Bennet (D-Colo.) OH Open (Portman, R) New Jersey is a Democratic state. With the exception of 2004, when Blumenthal (D-Conn.) Blunt (R-Mo.)
