Media Companies and Journalists Brace for Trump’s Threats and Hostility

from Political Breakdown · host KQED

The start of a second Trump term brings with it new — and old — challenges for the media. Trump has threatened to prosecute reporters and media outlets, has used his regulatory power to punish companies whose coverage he doesn't like and has called reporters the enemy of the people.  The rise of social media has also helped usher in a new era in media more broadly, marked by a fragmented environment and a rise in right wing outlets. Scott and Marisa are joined by Politico's Ian Ward to talk about what this means for the next few years.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
