Bad News: How Woke Media Is Undermining Democracy is a 2021 nonfiction book by Batya Ungar-Sargon.
Ungar-Sargon argues that race-conscious perspectives promoted by print media aimed at upper-class, educated audiences have supplanted the class-conscious journalism that characterized earlier periods of U.S. media, dating back to the penny press era, when inexpensive newspapers were widely read across social classes. [1] The book contends that identity politics and cultural issues have become central to media coverage, which it describes as "catering almost exclusively to the interests of urban, upper-class liberals". [2] The Washington Independent Review of Books described the book as "the most penetrating analysis" of the current state of mainstream media. [3]
