The First Amendment Under Duress: Freedom of the Press
Tue, Dec 9 from 12:00pm
to 1:00pm
Join us for an engaging discussion on the ways in which the Trump Administration is challenging long-established First Amendment norms. In the first months of the administration, we have seen unprecedented changes to press access, the conditioning of public funding on editorial decision making, a flurry of lawsuits and settlements focused on the content of news reports, frequent attacks on individual journalists, funding cuts affecting public broadcasting, the recent changes to late night programing, and Skydance Media’s recent acquisition of Paramount and Skydance’s commitment to install an ombudsman at CBS News.
- What should media companies and journalists expect to change about access to the President?
- Will publicly funded media continue?
- What will come of defamation suits against public figures?
- Will courts prevent other forms of retaliation for unpopular reporting?
- What role will the ombudsman play at CBS News?
This webinar is free for CBA Members. Non-Members can purchase access for $100.
Registration deadline 12/5/2025 at 5pm.
