Shorenstein Center Discussion Paper Series 2013.D-80, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, September 2013.https://nrs.harvard.edu/URN-3:HUL.INSTREPOS:37376525This paper will examine the merits of being a reporter “on the bus” during a presidential campaign, at a time when Twitter and other web-driven developments in the media have broken down walls between the political press and the public.

But as some walls are crumbling, others are going up.en-USResearch Paper or Report2023-07-18
