New power: Open.
My challenge to you is to consider the following: What if every piece of journalism helped the public understand whether old or new power dynamics and values were at play? How might using this framing help generations better understand one another and why some approaches just will not work anymore?
What if reporters made explicit the values systems that are driving the sources in their stories to make the decisions they do? What might happen if newsrooms examined their
own values, and whether they aligned more with old power or new power?
Hard and soft power
You may be familiar with the idea of “hard” and “soft” power. Soft power is the ability to use influence and attraction rather than force, threat, or rules (hard power) to make change happen.
