The historic criminal case against a former president presents unique challenges for journalists.
Jury selection is underway for Donald Trump’s New York trial involving three things you don’t often hear about together: a former president, campaign finance issues and sex with an adult-film star. The headlines might seem to write themselves, but given the public’s limited access to the trial, reporters and columnists could have difficulty making sense of the high-stakes proceedings.
It was an enormous amount of money to pay someone, especially for a story we were not running. ... In return, signed a new contract that stipulated that if he told the story to any third parties, he would be on the hook for a million dollars in damages to A.M.I. It was a highly unusual clause. The signed contract was put into a safe. A colleague who was working with me described what happened as a “catch and kill.
Cartwright also revealed how the Enquirer started salacious and totally false rumors, like Sen. Ted Cruz’s father somehow being involved with Lee Harvey Oswald, which mainstream outlets eventually picked up. And, of course, how the Enquirer worked closely with Michael Cohen to keep the Stormy Daniels story away from the public.As detestable as these “catch and kill” operations were, there is a certain thrill that comes with learning about the intricacies of these backroom deals.
Perhaps those covering Trump should listen to Chuck Rosenberg, a former U.S. attorney who served as acting head of the Drug Enforcement Administration,Monday that New York state prosecutors — engaged in the new “trial of the century” — shouldn’t get too excited taking part in the case. Instead, they should be “methodical, linear and chronological. There’s a story to tell, and they’ll get on that trail and tell the story.” The media would be wise to keep the same in mind.
