As the 2024 election cycle heats up, a new buzzword is making waves in media circles: “sanewashing.” The term refers to how some media outlets sanitize Donald Trump’s often incoherent and erratic remarks, presenting them as more polished and conventional political discourse.

This phenomenon, which has sparked widespread discussion, highlights the ongoing challenge of how the press covers politicians whose rhetoric increasingly defies the norms of political communication.

These innovative products merge the familiarity of print-style newspapers with the convenience of digital distribution, delivered as PDFs or e-editions designed for easy reading on tablets or simple printouts. By maintaining traditional ad rates and subscription models without the costs of physical printing and distribution, digital news dailies offer a sustainable solution for publishers seeking new revenue streams.
