But even if we set aside this question of whether the press can reliably tell the truth, there remains an intractable demand-side problem: readers, for the most part, aren't paying for news, so publications need advertisers; to get advertisers, you must attract readers; and to attract readers, you must pander to the audience's biases.

But after the dust cleared on the hurly-burly of the daily newspaper grind, their finest moments were when they refused to pander to fear-fueled public opinion -- humanizing AIDS victims during the earliest days of that plague and refusing to glorify the subway vigilante Bernhard Goetz during the bad old days of high crime on the subway.

It's a fascinating process, one that Ellen Willis described in a 1973 piece in this magazine about one of Midler's performances: As an ambitious artist in every sense, she was facing familiar contradictions: how to remain "the last of the tacky women" and preserve her special relationship with her "real" fans while playing the Palace at fifteen dollars top; how to make the mass audience love her while resisting subtle and not so subtle pressures to pander.
