White House Disallows AP Reporter Entry Over Disagreement Over Geographic Term Usage

ai generated text

The Trump administration has barred The Associated Press (AP) from sending a reporter to an executive order signing in the Oval Office.

    1. It is alarming that the Trump administration would punish AP for its independent journalism. Limiting our access to the Oval Office based on the content of AP's speech not only severely impedes the public's access to independent news, it plainly violates the First Amendment.
    2. The role of our free press is to hold those in power accountable, not to act as their mouthpiece. Any government efforts to erode this fundamental freedom deserve condemnation.
  2. US

    1. The White House cannot dictate how news organizations report the news, nor should it penalize working journalists because it is unhappy with their editors' decisions.
  3. US
    Associated Press
    1. The Associated Press will refer to it by its original name while acknowledging the new name Trump has chosen.
    2. Mexico, as well as other countries and international bodies, do not have to recognize the name change.

    1. As a global news agency that disseminates news around the world, the AP must ensure that place names and geography are easily recognizable to all audiences.
    2. We were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump's executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.
    3. As a global news organization, The Associated Press informs billions of people around the world every day with factual, nonpartisan journalism.
    4. Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump's executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office. This afternoon AP's reporter was blocked from attending an executive order signing.
