The Associated Press quotes Jill Geisler about President Barack Obama’s criticism that cable news centers on conflict:
“Not to be lost in Obama’s pique, however, is that he has a point, said Jill Geisler, a former broadcaster who teaches leadership at the Poynter Institute, a nonprofit school for journalists. Noise makes news. Nuance often does not.
” ‘I think each of us in journalism must ask: Are we contributing to a deeper understanding of complex issues?’ she said.”
