Dewasa ini tidak sedikit media massa menjadi bagian dari industri perfilman, salah satunya ialah media cetak. Media cetak yang rilis dalam film hasil karya dari Steven Spielberg yaitu The Post. Film ini hadir dengan nuansa jurnalistik yang bercerita tentang kebocoran dari makalah Pentagon yang kemudian dirilis kembali oleh dua surat kabar ternama di Amerika Serikat. Selain itu, terdapat juga hal-hal yang mengarah pada bisnis media dalam mencari keuntungan. The Post berhasil menarik perhatian publik, sebab film yang sutradarai oleh Steven Spielberg merupakan bentuk kritikan kepada Donal Trump tentang keadaan saat ini di Amerika Serikat yang tengah dipimpinnya atas kebebasan pers yang ditekan oleh pemerintah.

  • Donald Graham's Washington Post
    From the September / October 2002 issue of the Columbia Journalism Review Donald Graham's Washington Post BY SCOTT SHERMAN On October 1, 1975, at approximately 4:50 a.m., Donald Graham, heir apparent to The Washington Post, received a disturbing telephone call. Union members had just beaten a foreman, started a fire, and ransacked the presses at the Post. Thus commenced a lengthy ordeal, during which helicopters landed on the roof of the Post to ferry pages to nonunion printing plants; waiters in tuxedos served snacks to workers inside the building; and some reporters who chose to work were harassed and beaten. One despairing pressman even committed suicide. For Graham, who was thirty years old, the pressmen’s strike was a baptism by fire. As assistant general manager during the strike, his job was to get the newspaper out each day without the craft unions, a task he performed with skill, brio, and humility: With a skeleton crew running the paper, the scion of a newspaper fortune was forced to load trucks and push rolls of newsprint. Toby Thompson, who went to prep school with Graham and wrote a searching profile of him in Esquire in 1985, quoted a colleague who recalled how, during the strike, Graham, who served in Vietnam, “just glowed — it was like combat duty and he was a commander in battle.” To his mother, Katharine Graham — who became known for her toughness during the strike — it was his moment of truth. “He was so helpful to me and so instrumental to the paper. I knew then that he was more than ready to take over as publisher,” Mrs.

    JOU0010.1177/1464884913479015JournalismFink and Schudson 4790152013 Article Journalism 2014, Vol 15(1) 3 –20 The rise of contextual © The Author(s) 2013 Reprints and permissions: journalism, 1950s–2000s sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/1464884913479015 jou.sagepub.com Katherine Fink Columbia University, USA Michael Schudson Columbia University, USA Abstract Many journalists and other observers remember the 1960s as a watershed moment in American journalism. Do they remember correctly? This essay reviews relevant empirical studies on how US newspapers have changed since the 1950s. There is strong existing evidence that journalists have come to present themselves as more aggressive, that news stories have grown longer, and that journalists are less willing to have politicians and other government officials frame stories and more likely to advance analysis and context on their own. Based on content analysis of the New York Times, Washington Post, and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, this study finds that the growth in ‘contextual reporting’ has been enormous – from under 10 percent in all three newspapers in 1955 to about 40 percent in 2003; ‘conventional’ news stories on the front page declined from 80–90 percent in all three papers to about 50 percent in all three papers in the same period. What this study calls ‘contextual reporting’ has not been widely recognized (unlike, say, investigative reporting) as a distinctive news genre or news style and this article urges that it receive more attention. Keywords Contextual journalism, explanatory journalism, interpretive journalism, investigative journalism, news paradigm, political reporting, social empathy journalism As virtually all accounts by journalists and historians attest, news coverage of government, politics, and society opened up in the 1960s and 1970s.
