News leaders deal with the post-Trump era

The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg pointed to the Jan. 6 riot, when dozens of Trump's supporters breached the Capitol building in an attempt to stop certification of President Biden's victory. “I would say that Jan. 6 was not the climax of a trend, not the end of a story. It might very well have been the beginning of the story,” Goldberg said. Other news executives underscored the intensity of current events around the globe, noting it extends beyond Trump and the former president's efforts to undermine election results showing his loss. “We're not really at the end of something. We're in the midst of something,” said Time Magazine’s editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal. “You’ve got, as Jeff says, a democracy crisis, we've got a trust crisis, we've got an ongoing health crisis. We have a crisis of inequality and injustice. We have a planetary crisis. I mean—we're still in it.”
