PRESS FREEDOM UNDER ASSAULT: PRESERVING OUR DEMOCRACYA ClassACT ForumThursday, July 10th, 2025 The forum will examine whether a fundamental shift in the relationship between journalism and politics is occurring, one that signals a movement toward authoritarianism.The distinguished panel will trace how United States arrived at a point where the government attempts to censor the language of respected media and press outlets, the Department of Justice investigates news organizations for their “diversity, equity and inclusion” policies, efforts to cut off federal funding for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service and the rapid decline of local newspapers throughout the country, whose absence leaves fertile ground for sources of misinformation to take root, will also be a topic. |
