News organizations ask court to block White House access ban

Original: News organizations ask court to bar White House enforcement of access ban https:// lemmy.world/post/52511748

A group of news organizations has gone to court asking judges to bar the White House from enforcing its ban on certain outlets' access. The legal challenge targets the administration's practice of excluding journalists from press events, a move critics call an assault on press freedom. The case is drawing wide attention as a test of whether the government can pick which news organizations cover the presidency.

Why now: Ongoing legal dispute over White House press access restrictions is a major press-freedom story.
