Statement summary
Gage says that when the White House excludes journalists because it objects to their reporting, the public loses information it needs to hold leaders accountable, and historians lose information they need for their work.
“It also deprives historians like me, who serve a broad public audience, of the information and knowledge we need to share our work.”
Trump announced a White House ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico over their coverage. Read his original post, the outlets' responses and their accounts of reporters being refused entry.
