What do you think? You know the shit he’s been saying. He’s been calling Mexican immigrants rapists. I don’t know, members of the press, what the fuck? [Reporter tries to interrupt.] Hold on a second. You know, it’s these questions that you know the answers to. I mean, connect the dots about what he’s been doing in this country. He’s not tolerating racism; he’s promoting racism. He’s not tolerating violence; he’s inciting racism and violence in this country . . . I don’t know what kind of question that is.

This monograph addresses the question of how journalistic knowledge work, and in particular inferential reasoning, as a process of uncertainty reduction is manifested in news texts. We argue this takes place both in and in-between news media within a community of practice. The main premise is that journalistic texts reveal communal processes of knowledge creation and it is within these texts that we see the contours of what we term an “inferential community.” The backdrop to this, is that the digital (news) landscape, political developments, and global issues produce an environment rife with uncertainty. We focus on three contemporary cases around the current U.S. presidency. We are, however, not arguing that the processes we study are altogether new; journalists have always, alone or together, grappled with uncertainty. Rather, we present here a conceptualization based on the premise that current circumstances offer a window into the more fundamental processes of journalistic knowledge work based on inference.

Under settled First Amendment doctrine, true threats and incitement to violence fall clearly outside the protection of the United States Constitution. However, the line between violent speech and protected political hyperbole is exceedingly blurry, especially in high-conflict protest environments. This study complements doctrinal analysis with an ethnographic field study of abortion clinic protests in the Southern United States to test assumptions about speech, harm, and political discourse. It recommends that courts modify the analytical frameworks for true threats and incitement to better capture the layers of social and historical context that create social and rhetorical meaning amid political conflict.

The U.S. journalism industry is facing unprecedented challenges from questions of economic stability, rising antimedia sentiment among the government and the public, new technologies that have democratizing effects on news production, and the lowest levels of trust in journalism in decades. At the same time, the United States is facing structural inequality and political polarization that has taken on a distinctly place-based dimension. Taken together, the places of news have changed, both because of forces inside and outside journalism: The places where journalists do their work have changed, not only in an immediate sense of their own work routines but also because of the larger place-based realignment in the United States. This monograph argues that place must be at the center of scholarly and industry analysis to better understand the challenges to professional journalism today.

When I moved with my family to Northern England from Miami in January 2018, I knew I was leaving the familiarities of my home country, my daily bouts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, the occasional check-in with FOX News, and access to The New York Times on newsstands at Starbucks. What I didn’t realize was that in May 2018, I would be cut off from online access to my hometown newspaper, the Tomah Journal in Tomah, Wisconsin, when the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took hold. GDPR mandates that businesses with online content in the EU must seek a user’s permission to track her geographic location, how she uses the website, and what other sites she might visit online before she can access the company’s website. For businesses that do not comply with the law—as of April 2019, this includes hundreds of news outlets, including the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times—their websites are left fairly blank. A message on the Tribune’s website, for instance, reads:
2018年1月,当我和家人从迈阿密搬到英格兰北部时,我知道我要离开祖国的熟悉,离开每天收看MSNBC的《早安乔》(Morning Joe),离开偶尔收看福克斯新闻(FOX News),离开星巴克(Starbucks)报摊上的《纽约时报》(New York Times)。我没有意识到的是,在2018年5月,当欧盟的通用数据保护条例(GDPR)生效时,我将无法在线访问我家乡的报纸,威斯康星州托马的托马杂志。《通用数据保护条例》(GDPR)规定,在欧盟拥有在线内容的企业必须获得用户的许可,才能追踪其地理位置、使用网站的方式以及可能访问的其他网站,然后才能访问该公司的网站。截至2019年4月,不遵守法律的企业,包括数百家新闻媒体,包括《芝加哥论坛报》和《洛杉矶时报》,他们的网站相当空白。例如,《论坛报》网站上的一条信息是:
