What's Next...
As a new President and his administration prepare to take office, many previous norms around the relationship between the press and the White House will take time to return — if they return at all — and key challenges, for both the press and the public, will remain. As they prepare to cover the post-Trump era, political reporters in particular will face critical challenges, and the lingering issues of media mistrust, conspiracy theories, and journalism’s economic sustainability will continue to plague the media no matter who is in the White House.

“This story for National Geographic magazine was about women gaining political power across the world. Here, in New Zealand, young Maori women stood alongside the New Zealand Prime Minister, who is a woman, and several Maori women who are political leaders in a ceremony called Waitangi. I couldn’t help thinking about how representation echoes through generations, multiplying possibilities. I could almost hear these young women saying ‘I can do that.’”
