Show Notes
The Post Gazette has made national headlines for it's decision to restrict reporters from covering Black Lives Matter protests, and even going so far as to temporarily remove stories covering the protests from their website. Alexis Johnson was subject to such removal after management flagged a tweet she sent last week that went viral. She joined Randy Baumann this morning to discuss the actions taken against her by management, the struggle in maintaining factual objectivity and consistency in today's media climate, and the overwhelming support she's received from fellow writers and community members.
