The Kalb Report - The Fight for Freedom of the Press

Livestream will begin April 8 at 12:00pm ET.

About the Program:
The White House has launched an all-out war against the press terming several news organizations, including CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, and The New York Times, the “enemy of the American people,” and their work, “fake news.” The president’s chief strategist has called the press “the opposition party” and has said the media should “keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while.”

On Saturday, April 8, CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Washington Post political reporter David Fahrenthold join Marvin Kalb to discuss coverage of the new administration, the responsibility of the press in a democracy, and life in the crosshairs of Donald Trump’s tweets.

The Kalb Report series is underwritten by a grant from Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation.

Location:
The Kalb Report is produced before a live studio audience at the National Press Club, located on the 13th floor of the National Press Building, 14th and F Streets, NW, Washington, D.C.
