That definition of newsworthiness—what powerful people say and do—guarantees the marginalization of important views that would contribute to national discussions about those “decisions that affect people’s lives.” A program that sought to convey a more expansive view of news and politics, whether on public broadcasting or anywhere else, would work to bring different perspectives to the air. That does not seem to be a priority at the NewsHour.
