The Trump Administration’s Use of State Power Against Media: Keeping Track of the Big Picture
Just Security has published an interactive graphic tracking how the Trump administration has used state power against media organizations, mapping connections between individual incidents and broader patterns of press pressure.
Why this matters: Press freedom and surveillance of journalists are not separate issues. When a government uses regulatory agencies, federal contracts, or legal pressure to punish or shape coverage, the public loses reliable information. This kind of tracking matters because the damage happens gradually. Each action looks isolated. The pattern only becomes visible when someone maps it. That is what this tool is trying to do, and it is worth watching how the picture grows.
