Selena Zito is one of the best journalists of our current era. She captures the voices of non-urban, rust-belt Americans - most of them Trump supporters - like no one else.
Zito lives not far from where Donald Trump was shot at a fairground rally in Pennsylvania. She spoke to him in the press tent just before he went on-stage. He asked about her grandkids.
The Free Press has her first-hand account of what it was like to hear the shots and drop on the ground in fear for her life, and that of her daughter and son-in-law on the ground beside her. This is real journalism.
