"The Environment For Reporters Covering The EPA Just Got A Lot More Toxic" [1]

July 27, 2019

"While the Trump administration is not known for velvety smooth relations with the news media, federal agencies are far more likely to ignore reporters than to officially scold them. Not the EPA. Reporters whom the agency deems to have misreported can expect to hear about it, and not just through a polite phone call or an email requesting a correction. Instead, the EPA goes public."

Paul Farhi reports for the Washington Post July 13, 2019. [2]
