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/52511745

A coalition of news organizations has gone to court asking a judge to bar the White House from enforcing a ban that restricts journalists' access to the president and press events. The lawsuit argues the administration cannot punish outlets by revoking access, a move press freedom groups have criticized as government retaliation against coverage it dislikes. The case is drawing wide attention as a test of press access protections.

Why now: The White House restricting press access raises First Amendment concerns, making it a major press freedom fight.
