Updating: The White House press pool announced it is suspending its televised coverage of President Trump after the White House pulled CNN from its assigned pool coverage duties this week.

The move could make it more difficult for images and video of President Donald Trump’s activities at the United Nations General Assembly this week to get to the American public.

Updating: Are People of Color Allies of Press Freedom? Depends

"Most Americans see freedom of the press – protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution – as important to society," the Pew Research Center reported Wednesday.

"But their support for press freedom is far from absolute, according to a new Pew Research Center study from the Pew-Knight Initiative."

Is that also true of people of color? It depends, Pew researchers told Journal-isms.
