In the increasingly bitter legal standoff between President Donald Trump and media outlets whose reporting he dislikes, a new and crucial third party has emerged: citizens who watch and read the news and need it to do their jobs.

President Donald Trump’s order to ban news outlets CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House news coverage violates First Amendment rights and is an alarming escalation of how far this administration will go to control the narrative and silence critical, fact-based, news coverage. Read more ⤵️

The University of Alabama shut down two student magazines and now a federal court will decide whether student journalism at public universities is “government speech.”
FIRE joined an @SPLC-led coalition urging the court to protect student editorial control. 🧵
The University of Alabama’s suspension of student-run magazines Alice and Nineteen Fifty-Six is a blow to student press freedom. These publications have the First Amendment right to be free of viewpoint-based discrimination, yet UA is explicitly citing their viewpoints to justify killing their publications.
No federal anti-discrimination law gives the university the power to silence student media it dislikes. Calling the magazines’ content an “unlawful proxy” is baseless. This is an attack on the student press, plain and simple.
FIRE demands that UA immediately reinstate both publications.
