US EditionWhy the Associated Press Is Standing for Your Right to Speak Freely
The Associated Press challenges government restrictions that limit journalistic access to presidential events, emphasizing the importance of unbiased reporting and First Amendment rights.
- On Monday, The Associated Press returned to a courtroom to defend itself against the White House, fighting for the press and public to speak freely without targeted restrictions.
- About nine months ago, AP sued after being blocked from presidential events, as Julie Pace, the executive editor, said AP felt duty-bound to act to protect press freedom.
- Recent moves include White House legal actions and a Pentagon press policy that reporters say conflicts with standards, while some journalists were restricted from White House coverage.
- The organization argues such control would undercut the First Amendment and affect many Americans, warning that letting officials pick who covers the presidency would produce a filtered view.
- AP stresses its mission to report facts so people can decide and says, as an independent, not-for-profit news organization, it must stand up when fundamental freedoms are at stake.
