Journalist for over 50 years. AP for 37.
Great news for AP. Judge rejects WH claim that they’re able to limit AP’s access to briefings, venues.

Kai, over my 37 years at AP, the organization always tried to avoid mentions in the press, under the belief that was the best way of remaining a fair voice. So, this is a tremendous, and risky, decision for this tremendous institution.

That’s more like it. Thanks for supporting AP.

Thanks Peter.

Josh, the WH's anger reveals ignorance of the Stylebook's place in the media world. The AP Stylebook does not prevent any news organization from following their own style, and many do. BTW, waiting on others in the industry to back AP in word and deed.

Hey, Reuters, AFP, CNN, NYT, WP, CBS, and the rest - crickets?

Hang in there, AP. Doing the right, while waiting for the rest of the news industry to join the fight.

Totally agree.

Stay strong AP.

I’m tremendously proud of my former employer’s stand against this Orwellian move by the White House.
