David Harvey: Gravitas in Political Journalism

This is an article about political journalism. It has been prompted by recent events surrounding an unreported incident at a function hosted by the Minister of Finance. What unfolded there did not redound to the advantage of one of the participants.

The way the media ignored it was a disgrace. The fact that the story was broken by Ani O’Brien on Substack demonstrates the power of citizen journalists. The fact that Mainstream Media hopped onto the bandwagon and started reporting the story demonstrates how easily they can be left in the dust and how they struggle to catch up. It is an example of why there is still a large absence of trust in MSM.
