SPJ strongly objects to President Donald Trump’s decision to bar @CNN, @MSNOWNews and @politico over their coverage. Press access should never be used to punish journalists for reporting that those in power dislike.
➡️ Read the full statement: bit.ly/4hfhDsj
It is staggering that @realDonaldTrump’s entire economic worldview is based on a fundamental inability to comprehend that a trade deficit of $60 billion is not the same thing as LOSING $60 billion or being ripped off. No-one around him is willing/able to explain the difference.
Trump turns up the heat on Canada saying the U.S. is done being taken advantage of and claiming Washington loses more than $60 billion a year in the relationship

Awesome coverage!
@DeanLuk from @HofstraU was interviewed by @THR for the article “With TV News In Free Fall, Anchors Try Breaking Away,” about the trend of TV news veterans leaving the declining world of linear media to build businesses and their brand on social media, podcasts, and other platforms.

When you lose the @WSJ … amazing reporting and innovative presentation make for powerful journalism. Must read.
What @CBS has done iswhat @TimothyDSnyder calls “obedience in advance” in his book “On Tyranny.” No law or FCC rule has been changed. No order against CBS was issued. But Trump and Carr made threats, and CBS/Paramount chose to bend the knee. Now: will @CBSNews report this story??
NEWS: CBS blocked Stephen Colbert from airing an interview with Texas State Rep. James Talarico and ordered him not to mention the cancellation over fear of FCC chair Brendan Carr.
Colbert went on air and revealed it anyway.
“He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast,” Colbert said.

If you’re the job applicant who was (correctly) concerned about AI use in Cleveland, please consider applying to The Baltimore Banner. We’re hiring for a breaking news reporter and reporters to staff up a new suburban bureau in a very newsy county.

Imagine being a bright-eyed J-School grad eager to launch your reporting career, and the editor of Cleveland's metro daily puts you on blast for wanting to be a journalist instead of an AI content farmer. cleveland.com/news/2026/02/j…
“Citizens + Journalists” is becoming the new model for “citizen journalism” as civilian video fuels meticulous reporting. Video authentication & analysis may punch through in ways that fact-checking doesn’t seem to. MAGA says don’t trust journalists, but don’t trust my own eyes?
Federal agents in Minneapolis wrestled Alex Pretti to the ground and secured the handgun he was carrying moments before shooting him multiple times, according to a Washington Post analysis of video footage.

Please closely follow Minnesota Star Tribune as they lay facts upon facts to inform us all. Here is a link to their coverage, grateful to have a local free and plural press giving the public eyes and ears to hold government accountable - whether local, state or federal. /1

Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

Impossible to overstate appreciation for the on-the-ground journalists in the Twin Cities covering this overwhelming series of events. Support their independent, ethical reporting under immense stress.
Words matter in #journalism. @Sec_Noem wasn’t “describing” CA leadership: she was declaring that the DHS/Nat’l Guard/Marine mission was to “liberate the city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership” of DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED @GavinNewsom and @MayorOfLA.
CBS News' Carter Evans was in the room for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's press conference when Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) was forcibly removed while trying to ask a question.
Noem was describing what she called the "burdensome leadership" of California's governor and the mayor of Los Angeles, when Padilla interrupted and attempted to ask a question before being pushed from the room.
"This all happened very, very quickly," Evans describes. "It was only then, after he was being dragged out of the room that he identified himself as a U.S. senator."

Proud of the work we have done in conjunction with the @HerbertSchoolHU in the Tony Cavallaro Control Room. Today’s @HofstraBaseball game was the 50th out of the control room this year & Hofstra students ran the whole broadcast for the final few innings. 👏 Hofstra Sports Media!

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty is a world treasure. For 75-years, this storied organization has made the world safer. Audiences view us as lifelines to the free world. Attempts to defund @RFERL would be a massive gift to America's enemies, many of whom are already celebrating
