The internet beat is culturally relevant, but the media has difficulty describing it accurately, reports Karen Maniraho, a fellow at the Columbia Journalism Review. She discusses how five journalists each approach writing about the internet. From outlets as varied as traditional news channels to internet-focused newsletters, these reporters delve into how they cover the web and why. One focuses on “Black Twitter” to provide a new perspective on a mainstream subject, while others take a more anthropological viewpoint. All five agree on the complexity and significance of reporting on the internet, its subcultures, and its impact on society, business and politics.
