What is it like to be a journalist under the Trump Administration? The First Amendment of the US Constitution guarantees Freedom of Press and prohibits the government from censoring, punishing, or restricting news organizations from reporting, investigating, and publishing information, even if it is critical of officials. So, when journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort were arrested last month for covering an anti-ice protest in St. Paul, shock, anger, and concern rippled through the journalism community. What does this action mean for the future of news reporting and how will it impact the way reporters do their job? A stellar panel of local journalists join Barbara Hamm Lee for this expanded edition of Another View: Barbara Ciara, retired news anchor at WTKR, Eugene Daniel, anchor for WVEC's DayBreak, Mechelle Hankerson, News Director for WHRO, and Will Laviest, award winning print, radio, TV, and internet journalist. This, and all Another View programs can be heard on demand on the show's program page.
