In an earlier post, I mentioned work that Jay Rosen and his Studio 20 journalism program did in 2010-2011 on the subject of explainers (a form of journalism that provides the essential background knowledge necessary to follow events in the news). Here are links that I did not include in the post:
PressThink: National Explainer: A Job for Journalists on the Demand Side of News – Jay Rosen’s initial post about the “Giant Pool of Money” podcast that helped explain the sub-prime mortgage crisis, contains analysis of why it was excellent, and pointers to explainers (2008)
PressThink: John Ashcroft: National Explainer – why US Attorney General John Ashcroft felt justified in only talking to television news, and not print news (2003)
PressThink: Normalizing Trump (2017)
Explainer.net: The Explainer Awards, a look at the best explainers on the net (2011)
