The Reuters news agency this week recognized the challenges of covering Donald Trumps presidency by comparing it to authoritarian regimes like Egypt, Yemen and China.
Its not every day that a U.S. president calls journalists among the most dishonest human beings on earth or that his chief strategist dubs the media the opposition party, Reuters Editor-in-Chief Steve Adler wrote in a message to staff on Tuesday. Its hardly surprising that the air is thick with questions and theories about how to cover the new Administration.
He cited the organizations work in Turkey, the Philippines, Egypt, Iraq, Yemen, Thailand, China, Zimbabwe, and Russia as an example of how to report on the Trump administration.
Adler said that reporters could use experience learned in nations in which we sometimes encounter some combination of censorship, legal prosecution, visa denials, and even physical threats to our journalists.
Among other advice, the news agency pointed out that reporters should [g]ive up on hand-outs and worry less about official access.
