Trump’s attacks on press freedom and their global repercussions

The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) together with its U.S. and Canadian affiliates, the National Writers Union (NWU), the NewsGuild-CWA, the Communications Workers of America - Syndicat des Communications d’Amérique (CWA-SCA) and Unifor, is hosting an affiliates-only webinar.

Since Donald Trump took office as the 47th President of the United States on 20 January, attacks on press freedom have increased across the country. The Trump administration has targeted independent media in the U.S. by barring the global news organisation Associated Press (AP), seizing control of the press pool and kicking out other longstanding members of the press corps from covering White House events.

Join for a discussion with leaders from the IFJ, the National Writers Union, the NewsGuild-CWA, the Communications Workers of America - Syndicat des Communications d’Amérique (CWA-SCA), and Unifor at 6pm on Tuesday 4 March of on Zoom.
