3QS: DONALD TRUMP’S ACRIMONIOUS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PRESS

Donald Trump’s recent move to revoke the press cre­den­tials forThe Wash­ington Post will back­fire on the pre­sump­tive Repub­lican pres­i­den­tial nom­inee, says Jonathan Kauf­mann, director of Northeastern’s School of Jour­nalism. Here, he weighs in on Trump’s hos­tile rela­tion­ship with the so-​​called Fourth Estate, com­pares Trump’s ani­mosity toward the press to that of Pres­i­dent Richard Nixon, and recalls his own reporting prob­lems in China.
