NY Times publisher: Trump complicit in worldwide threat to journalism
New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger in a new op-ed alleges that President Trump accepts or even encourages “brutal crackdowns” on journalists worldwide.
“The hard work of journalism has long carried risks, especially in countries without democratic safeguards. But what’s different today is that these brutal crackdowns are being passively accepted and perhaps even tacitly encouraged by the president of the United States,” Sulzberger wrote in a column in the paper published Tuesday.
“To give you a sense of what this retreat looks like on the ground, let me tell you a story I’ve never shared publicly before,” he added, sharing the story of Declan Walsh, an Irish national employed by the Times in Egypt.
