In a coordinated effort to promote press freedom, over 350 newspapers in the US have run editorials denouncing US President Donald Trump’s attacks on the media.
The move follows a call by Boston Globe to run editorials which promote “press freedom in light of President Trump’s frequent attacks on the media”.
