ApiHour: Trump’s mastery of tabloid narrative
“Trump is a master of tabloid narrative, in a tactical way. This is a person who has no shame,” says Dr. Helena Chmielewska-Szlajfer during a timely ApiHour on politics in online tabloids. “Trump never apologizes for anything. That’s an amazing strategy. It goes against the general right of passage and social order,” the media researcher tells Api. She highlights how Trump’s “amazing strategy” has crafted a politician who is immune to becoming scandal material for tabloid journalists.
Thanks to Helena (centre) for her insights and to API Council member Esther Herrera Caro and API vice-president Christian Ernhede for their expert moderating.
