Fake news, alternative facts, reporter attacks, and puns vs. policy. Has President Donald Trump’s administration changed the way journalists cover government? Are journalists under attack? Can elected officials ice-out the press from public forums?
The Baltimore Association of Black Journalists, Society of Professional Journalists-Maryland Professional Chapter, Morgan State University’s School of Global Journalism and Communication and Morgan State University Chapter of National Association of Black Journalists are tackling the ever changing press dynamic in the White House.
We are hosting a joint panel discussion entitled, “Journalism in the time of President Trump: Has Trump’s administration changed the way journalists cover government?”
The joint-event will be held February 25, 2017 at Morgan State University’s School of Global Journalism and Communication.
