In a sit-down with PBS's Judy Woodruff, Martha Minow explores the relationship between polarization and trust in news media. "Opinion media is more successful than news media, than journalism. I think it's related to this lack of curiosity, people looking to be reinforced. [...] Being able to convert a story into something that's very simple, digestible, and maybe even outraging is more successful. It attracts attention. It's what people talk about."
