NewsGuild-CWA Joins Boston Globe in Condemning President Trump's Attacks on Journalism

The Boston Globe has launched an effort calling on news organizations to speak out about President Donald Trump's sustained assault on the free press. More than 350 news organizations have joined their call.

"Journalists are on the front lines in a war on freedom of the press because President Trump has taken every opportunity possible to impugn our craft, our mission, our publications – us. But he has gone beyond simply calling us names and discrediting us. This union of journalists stands in solidarity with all who call out President Trump for his deplorable attempts to weaken a free press and the 1st amendment," the NewsGuild-CWA said in a statement.
