KQED wasn’t alone in struggling to cover former President Trump. These last four years changed how many journalists think about their responsibilities to the public. It’s also forced more members of the news media to reckon with their own role in perpetuating long-existing, systemic problems.

Guests: Vinnee Tong, KQED’s Director of News and Ethan Toven-Lindsey, KQED’s Executive Editor
