Der 45. US-Präsident und die Medien: „Trump hat die Ursprungsfunktion der Presse nicht verstanden“

| Jan. 20, 2017

Ab dem heutigen Freitag werden die USA von einem neuen Präsidenten regiert. Donald Trump erwies sich in den vergangenen Monaten als launisch und unberechenbar – auch im Umgang mit den Massenmedien.

Im Interview mit MEEDIA erklärt die Expertin, wie sich die Arbeitsbedingungen der Presse verändern werden.
