Boston Globe

BOSTON — A Boston newspaper is proposing a coordinated editorial response from publications across the U.S. to President Donald Trump’s frequent attacks on the news media.

“We are not the enemy of the people,” said Marjorie Pritchard, deputy managing editor for the editorial page of The Boston Globe, referring to a characterization of journalists that Trump has used in the past. The president, who contends he has largely been covered unfairly by the press, also employs the term “fake news” often when describing the media.

The Globe has reached out to editorial boards nationwide to write and publish editorials on Thursday denouncing what the newspaper called a “dirty war against the free press.”

A great idea. Hope thousands do it.

Movie about Globe's SPOTLIGHT is one of my favorite recent films. Seen in three times, soon ready for a fourth. Feel good true story about investigative journalism.
