How did the press perform during the presidential campaign, and what will the media landscape look like under President-elect Trump? The complaints against he press include covering style over substance, not enough fact-checking, too many polls, not enough on the issues and too much on the personalities and the candidates' controversy of the day. David Rubin is a professor and dean emeritus of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. As for poll-driven reporting, Prof. Rubin says it depends on how those numbers are used.
