How should the media cover Trump and Biden in 2024? One man has an answer

We journalists lament that we have used the term "uncharted waters" so often in recent years to describe the state of American politics that the term has almost ceased to register.

But what else can we call this? What words feel adequate to the challenge of reporting on what is shaping up to be yet another presidential election year of, yes, uncharted waters covering a Republican frontrunner who may well spend more time in court than on the campaign trail in these coming months?

How do we cover it? What have we learned from covering the elections of 2016 and 2020? How can we do better? How do we earn back public trust?

We put these questions to a man who ran the newsrooms of the Miami Herald and The Boston Globe, and then took over The Washington Post in 2013 and steered that newsroom through Donald Trump's presidency.
