Facing the reality of President-elect Donald Trump's impending inauguration, traditional media outlets can either band together in the face of Trump's bullying anti-press tactics or risk being steamrolled by the incoming administration. In interviews with Media Matters, journalists and other media experts argue that reporters need to be ready to recommit to solid, rigorous reporting to hold Trump accountable and to stand together in the face of the Trump administration's inevitable anti-press crusade. Since being elected, Trump has continued to lash out at critical media outlets through his Twitter account. At his long-delayed first press conference as president-elect last week, Trump berated CNN reporter Jim Acosta, refused to let him ask a question, and dubbed his network "fake news." Other journalists who were gathered for the press conference essentially just watched.
