CJR quotes Socolow in article on hostility toward press
Columbia Journalism Review quoted Michael Socolow, an associate professor of communication and journalism at the University of Maine, in the article, “Condoned by Trump, press attacks hit local reporters hard.” There appears to be a growing trend of hostility toward journalists, not just at the national level but increasingly at the local level as well, according to the article. While such incidents appear to be more common in the past year, they occurred before Donald Trump was elected president as well, the article states.
