It enabled them to work strategically and constructively with a range of differently interested actors without being co-opted by these actors’ agendas, and to __remain oriented to their newsmaking ideals in a milieu that hardly seemed to appreciate their efforts__—thus offering an example of what a post-truth news practice may demand.

Rather than focusing only on what the news should do for its readers, the Politics journalists also took account of what the news needed to do for them so that they could carry on in this line of work. Journalists, like other working people, wanted a job that was not only meaningful but also manageable in its demands and reasonable in its remuneration. If some journalistic infractions were inconsequential for news readers but made the job more sustainable, the trade-off was, in this perspective, a good one.
