100 Days Of Attacks on Transparency And The Press

Host Kevin Gosztola marks President Donald Trump's first 100 days in his second term with this discussion of his administration's attacks on transparency and press freedom.

He is joined by two guests from the Freedom of the Press Foundation —Seth Stern, the advocacy director, and Lauren Harper, the Daniel Ellsberg chair on government secrecy.

Seth assesses the daily attacks on press freedom that occurred, and Lauren describes several alarming developments related to the public's access to government information. They both discuss what is being done to fight back and how they feel about the effectiveness of this resistance thus far.

The Freedom of the Press Foundation recently shared a thread with 100 examples of attacks on freedom of the press and launched "The Classified Catalog" to track secrecy news.
