melaniesill, I'd love to see #journalism research tracing the rise of predictive (vs. explanatory or revelatory) stories like this one (gift) https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/29/us/supreme-court-trump-election.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Jk0.XFXp.dwJUfykb-pCS&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare Predicting is a staple now especially for #NewYorkTimes and other major #USPol outlets. Why not (instead) explain legal principles, precedent, etc.: use it to educate about how #SupremeCourt works. #Newspapers used to be how many learned to understand US #democracy and its processes, but now emphasis is on prognostication and appearing savvy.
