Trump’s War on Truth
The return of Donald Trump to the White House has seen not only an unprecedented assault on media freedoms, including lawsuits, personal denunciations of reporters, and stripping news organizations of their credentials. We are also witnessing politicians attack the very notion of fact-checking and truth. Four American journalists on the frontlines of this story look at the dangers -- and the road ahead.
