A lot to talk about concerning how Americans understand freedom of the press during Pew Research’s #SPJ26 panel at 2:30 this afternoon.

Lots of folks making fun of Missouri and its senators today. They must not know that after only three trips to the Supreme Court we settled on our election maps last week.

This is an important point. Let's not make it sound like he had a choice. Our system required that he follow the order.

Don't let this "Trump was removed from social media" in 2021 argument fly regarding White House press access. The First Amendment does not obligate Meta to platform anyone. The First Amendment requires White House press-pool decisions not to be based on content. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

It doesn't matter whether you agree with these news outlets. "The second Trump administration's efforts to crack down on press freedom and delegitimize independent journalism far exceed those any modern American president," Sanders said.

It sounds like he’s violating the Constitution because they hurt his feelings. And he dislikes accountability. Problem is, our system was built to hold government officials accountable. Not to worship a ruler. Also, that pesky First Amendment protects these journalists’ access to that space.

Live Updates: Trump Bans CNN, MS NOW and Politico From the White House
The president cited reporting from the outlets that he deemed “fake news.” It was unclear how such a ban would be enforced or defended in court.

Two thoughts about the Southern Illinois U.-Edwardsville administration's interview policy for student journalists: (see: www.alestlelive.com/opinion/arti...) 1. This administration seems far more concerned with reputation management than the university's educational mission.

I'm thankful this bi-partisan group of lawmakers has put a federal anti-SLAPP bill forward. It is desperately needed. SLAPP lawsuits are a growing threat. Yet, I have no faith this or any law that legitimately benefits the flow of ideas will pass any time soon. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

I’ve been thinking about this. I teach and research free expression, but I left Twitter in 2022. Am I against free expression? My answer has been no. I’m not calling for these spaces to be regulated by the government. I’m making a personal choice to not be a part of that space for discourse.

This quote sort of brought out of my subconscious all the times I've thought about Hannah Arendt lately. If you're looking for a history of 2024-2028, pick up Origins of Totalitarianism and read her description of Adolf Eichmann in Eichmann in Jerusalem.

John Oliver implores the Senate to pass the PRESS Act! It's already passed the House unanimously. It would protect journalists across the political spectrum from spying and the threat of jail time for doing their jobs.

New, by me: U.S. senators have just a few weeks left to vote on the PRESS Act, a bipartisan federal "shield" law that protects journalists from giving up their sources, and more. The House passed the bill unanimously(!) in January; it just needs a final Senate vote. techcrunch.com/2024/11/10/i...
