Donald Trump was no ordinary candidate for President.
​
During his campaign, President Trump had a highly irregular relationship with journalists. For him, the press was the enemy. He isolated journalists during campaign rallies, attempted to delegitimize their coverage as "fake news," and urged his supporters to follow suit. President Trump has fundamentally changed how politicians and political candidates interact with journalists.
​
Featuring interviews with Sopan Deb (The New York Times, CBS News), best-selling author Caryl Rivers, and broadcast journalist R.D. Sahl (NECN) ; "Covering Trump" chronicles the treatment of the press and young journalists during the 2016 campaign.
