A new media class of creators and influencers captivated audiences with their coverage of the Depp-Heard trial, and the mainstream media noticed the frenzy only once it was in full swing. Choire writes
Photo-Illustration: Susanna Hayward The latest era for the elite mainstream media — that is the heavily paywalled, rule-bound, college-educated-reader-focused American news media — has been marked by a rolling journalistic reassessment of how women are covered.

She also has a clever natural sense for cheering on a surprising side: Just as she was strongly, disturbingly sympathetic to Ghislaine Maxwell, she was a chief instigator of the anti-Heard story line.
Kraus is just one of hundreds who racked up huge numbers and built followers during the trial. Devotedly.yours has posted hundreds of times, attracting millions of views.
