TRUMP V THE MEDIA 25 March 2025
THIS EVENT TOOK PLACE VIA ZOOM ON TUESDAY MARCH 25TH.
About the Event
It’s been a tumultuous couple of months since President Trump took office and started to reshape the world order.
The media – a long-standing battleground for America’s latest President – is facing tough new challenges.
Since January, his administration has taken action to limit media access - blocking reporters from Oval Office events, ousting journalists from working at the Pentagon and hitting certain media companies with lawsuits. Critics argue it’s a blatant attempt to control the news agenda.
So, how should the media respond?
How will it keep up with his rapid-fire communication, and disregard for the facts?
And what will be the wider ramifications for journalism both in the US and the UK?
Our online panel discussion was on Tuesday 25th March from 6 – 7 pm
