Push journalism is how Woodward and Bernstein reported on Watergate.
Pull journalism is a much more respectful model, but, as it turned out, the people involved in Watergate didn't deserve respect nearly as much as the people in the entire rest of the country deserved to know about Watergate.
- cirgue 8y agoMost things that matter are not watergate. Most things that matter happen over the course of years or decades, not weeks or months, and absolutely do require more depth and consensus-building to be anything other than partisan noise. Pull journalism is more respectful, but it's not more respectful to it's subjects, it's more respectful to its readers by not treating them like children at a circus.
