  • In a closely-watched case settled over the weekend, ABC chose to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by the president-elect over an inaccurate statement made by George Stephanopoulos by agreeing to pay $15 million toward Trump's presidential library.

The article from PBS NewsHour discusses the anticipated challenges and hostility that journalists expect to face under the incoming Trump administration. It highlights how President-elect Donald Trump's previous interactions with the media, characterized by frequent criticism and labeling of unfavorable coverage as "fake news," have set a contentious tone. Journalists and media organizations are preparing for potential legal battles, restrictions on access to information, and a more adversarial relationship with the White House. The piece also notes Trump's plans to possibly change libel laws to make it easier to sue media outlets, which could significantly impact press freedom. Furthermore, there's mention of Trump's intention to bypass traditional media by communicating directly with the public through social media, potentially reducing transparency. This environment has led to concerns about the erosion of democratic norms and the role of a free press in holding government accountable.
