Boston Globe calls on US newspapers to target Trump in coordinated editorials
The Hill
August 10, 2018
The Boston Globe is calling on newspapers across the country to publish editorials taking a stand against President Trump's repeated attacks on the media.
The Associated Press reported Friday that the Globe is calling for the editorial boards of other newspapers to publish editorials on August 16 denouncing the Trump administration's "dirty war against the free press."
Marjorie Pritchard, the deputy managing editor of the Globe who oversees the Globe's editorial page, told the AP that dozens of newspapers have already signed on to join the coordinated effort, including larger metropolitan daily newspapers and smaller publications.
The move comes days after the president ramped up his attacks on the news media, to which he has referred multiple times as the "enemy of the people."
Trump, on Sunday, sought to further discredit the press, saying in an early morning tweet,
"They can also cause war."
