Reuters Grapples With Covering Trump While Administration Attacks News

February 2, 2017 Steve Adler, www.reuters.com Resist! Donald Trump, Freedom of Press, Journalism

By Steve Adler for Reuters - The first 12 days of the Trump presidency (yes, that’s all it’s been!) have been memorable for all – and especially challenging for us in the news business. It’s not every day that a U.S. president calls journalists “among the most dishonest human beings on earth” or that his chief strategist dubs the media “the opposition party.” It’s hardly surprising that the air is thick with questions and theories about how to cover the new Administration. So what is the Reuters answer? To oppose the administration? To appease it? To boycott its briefings? To use our platform to rally support for the media?

Good Journalism Requires Openness To Foreign Sources Of Information

January 29, 2017 Steve Cunningham, www.blackagendareport.com Educate! Journalism, Media, Propaganda, Wikileaks

By Steve Cunningham for Black Agenda Report. If it wasn't for Wikileaks, we would think Hillary Clinton's public position were here private position; that the DNC was perfectly neutral and that Hillary Clinton won her nomination fair and square; and that the sole purpose of the Clinton Foundation was AIDS research. If anything, Wikileaks saved the election from the lies and deception of the Clinton campaign. So what if a foreign entity intervened? There is a stark difference between foreign propaganda, and foreign intervention that leads to more truth being exposed. The difference is that the first one is founded on a lie, and the second one is founded on the truth. There can never be enough truth in a democracy, unless getting to that truth involves the violation of rights. Yet acts of civil disobedience in terms of hacking are necessary at times when so much truth has become obfuscated. We cannot say how much hacking is too much hacking, only when the rights of individuals have become so impugned that it outweighs the value of the hacking. Yet in this instance, so much truth was revealed, so as to outweigh the rights to privacy and other rights of the DNC members.

January 28, 2017 Mike Elk, www.facebook.com Resist! Freedom of Press, Journalism, Protests, Washington DC

By Mike Elk for Washington-Baltimore News Guild - Donald Trump has declared war on the press in the hopes to intimidate us. As unionized journalists, it's up to us to use our solidarity to push back. May 3rd is World Press Freedom Day. On May 3rd, let's march on the White House and in cities across the world against Trump's attack on the media. In our industry, we are encouraged not to take long lunches nor show up to rallies, but on May 3rd, let's do both. Let's give the cameras a sight for the ages: hundreds of journalists marching on the White House arm in arm for the cause of press freedom.

Confirmation Hearing; Sessions Opposes Protections For Reporters Publishing Leaks

January 13, 2017 Kevin Gsoztola, www.shadowproof.com Educate! Attorney General, Journalism, Leak

By Kevin Gsoztola for Shadow Proof - Republican Senator Jeff Sessions opposed protections for reporters, who have viewpoints and publish contents from national security leaks, during his confirmation hearing for the position of Attorney General. Asked by Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar about upholding rules adopted by the Justice Department and avoiding the jailing of journalists who do their jobs, Sessions said, “I’m not sure. I have not studied those regulations.” Sessions suggested there were “few examples,” where the press and Justice Department disagreed on issues. “For the most part, there is a broadly recognized and proper deference to the news media.”

An Open Letter To Fellow Minority Journalists

December 19, 2016 Jay Caspian Kang, www.medium.com Educate! Journalism, Mass Media

By Jay Caspian Kang for Medium - Over the next year or two, media — especially prestige print media — will begin thinning out its ranks. The economic forecast, despite temporary spikes in post-election subscriptions, is not good and headcount spots will have to be cleared to make room for all the incoming pro-Trump takes. “Identity politics writers” (read: anyone who isn’t white and who doesn’t spend 99% of their time reporting) will almost certainly be the first to go. In reality, this is just a self-correction on the part of prestige print media. As early as three years ago, the entire senior editorial staff of the New Yorkermagazine was white (the web, where I worked for a short stint in 2014, was slightly more diverse. I even sat next to a minority, which was a first for me in my publishing career.).

December 2, 2016 Hugh Handeyside, www.aclu.org Educate! ACLU, Freedom of Press, Freedom of Speech, Journalism

By Hugh Handeyside for ACLU - The recent abusive border search of a Canadian photojournalist should serve as a warning to everyone concerned about press freedom these days. Ed Ou is a renowned photographer and TED senior fellow who has traveled to the United States many times to do work for The New York Times, Time magazine, and other media outlets. Last month, Ed was traveling from Canada to the U.S. to report on the protests against the Dakota Access pipeline in Standing Rock, North Dakota, when he was taken aside for additional inspection. What came next left him questioning what he thought he knew about the U.S. government and the values it stands for...

October 31, 2016 Janine Jackson, www.fair.org Resist! #NoDAPL, Censorship, Journalism

By Janine Jackson for FAIR - While elite media wait for the resistance to the Dakota Access Pipeline to go away so they can return to presenting their own chin-stroking as what it means to take climate change seriously, independent media continue to fill the void with actual coverage. One place you can go to find reporting is The Intercept (10/25/16), where journalist Jihan Hafiz filed a video report from North Dakota, where the Standing Rock Sioux and their allies continue their stand against the sacred site–trampling, water supply–threatening project.

Snowden: ‘Journalists Are A Threatened Class’ In Era Of Mass Surveillance

October 28, 2016 Nika Knight, www.commondreams.org Organize! Edward Snowden, Journalism, Mass Surveillance

By Nika Knight for Common Dreams - "Journalists are increasingly a threatened class when we think about the right to privacy," Snowden said. "Yes, I can give you tips on how to protect your communications, but you are going to be engaging in an arms race that you simply cannot win.
