"As cash-strapped metropolitan newspapers struggle to maintain their traditional influence
and quality reporting, large national and international outlets have pivoted to serving
readers who can and will choose to pay for news, skewing coverage toward a wealthy,
white, and liberal audience. Amid rampant inequality and distrust, media outlets have
become more out of touch with the democracy they purport to serve. How did journalism
end up in such a predicament, and what are the prospects for achieving a more equitable
future? In News for the Rich, White, and Blue, Nikki Usher recasts the challenges
facing journalism in terms of place, power, and inequality. Drawing on more than a
decade of field research, she illuminates how journalists decide what becomes news
and how news organizations strategize about the future. Usher shows how newsrooms
remain places of power, largely white institutions growing more elite as journalists
confront a shrinking job market. She details how Google, Facebook, and the digital-advertising
ecosystem have wreaked havoc on the economic model for quality journalism, leaving
local news to suffer. Usher also highlights how the handful of likely survivors-well-funded
media outlets such as the New York Times-increasingly appeal to a global, "placeless"
reader. News for the Rich, White, and Blue concludes with a series of provocative
recommendations to reimagine journalism to ensure its resiliency and its ability to
speak to a diverse set of issues and readers"
