Poynter – An ongoing catalog of federal government actions affecting journalists. “A free press is the bedrock of American democracy, vital enough to be enshrined in the Bill of Rights. It informs citizens, holds leaders accountable and preserves democratic principles. After decades of relative freedom, the press now faces a precarious future. Since January, President Donald Trump and his administration have taken actions that have hindered the media’s ability to cover the government, including cutting funding, investigating outlets and detaining writers. Some actions appear tied to broader strategies, such as Project 2025, the 900-page conservative roadmap for reshaping government. Others focus on outlets that Trump has repeatedly singled out for criticism.  To document these developments, Poynter is compiling a list of federal actions affecting journalists, including lawsuits, policy changes, investigations, funding cuts, firings and detentions. The list will be updated periodically and does not include verbal attacks, threats or media companies’ anticipatory compliance.”
