Did the storming of the Capitol damage US media?
A year on from the storming of the US Capitol, and the media is still coming to terms with what happened. Journalists are criticised for 'obsessing over' or 'normalising' the events of 6 January.
A year on from the storming of the US Capitol, and the media is still coming to terms with what happened. Some US news outlets have been accused of 'obsessing over' the scenes on 6 January 2021. Others have condemned parts of the media for 'normalising' the violence. So how can these divisions be healed? And in the week that several political figures were banned from Twitter, what role do the tech giants now play in our democracy?
With guests David Folkenflik, media correspondent at NPR; Robert Costa, political reporter at the Washington Post and co-author of Peril; Susan Ferrechio, chief congressional correspondent at the Washington Examiner; Chris Stokel-Walker, tech journalist; Zing Tsjeng, editor-in-chief at Vice UK.
