The executive order signed by former President Donald Trump in 2020, aimed at promoting free speech on college campuses, has had a significant impact on Illinois TV and radio stations. The order, which revoked the Fairness Doctrine, a policy that required broadcasters to present contrasting viewpoints on controversial issues, has led to a noticeable shift in the content aired by these stations. Many stations have since increased their coverage of conservative viewpoints, leading to concerns about the potential for biased reporting and the erosion of balanced journalism.

The long-term effects of this change on the media landscape in Illinois remain to be seen.
