Veteran reporter on federal health issues. Saw "censorship through media policy" begin to take over. Stunned news outlets can't report this murderous thing.

@nytimes Most federal agencies keep reporters out; ban staff from talking to journalists. Why are we talking only about the Pentagon? HHS has been thus constrained for years. Millions of lives at risk. How can this be ethical? @spj_tweets @sejorg @healthreporters @PublicHealth

@whca @rcfp @AP What about access for all reporters to most of the rest of the federal government? Why are we not talking about that? profficecensorship.blogspot.com/2025/04/to-jou… @spj_tweets @ap @nytimes @jayrosen_nyu @washingtonpost

I told HHS Asst Sec. of Public Affairs under Obama to kill the bans on staff talking to reporters without oversight. I said we will have a variety pres. administrations in the future. @AshishKJha46 @PublicHealth @spj_tweets @brianstetler @froomkin quillmag.com/2022/09/22/for…

The media have to face how far under the censorship by the powerful they are: Please read: @spj_tweets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">quillmag.com/2022/09/22/for… @pulitzerprizes @penamerica @pressfreedom @froomkin @unesco @JamesRisen1 @theFireorg @NormOrnstein @AEJMCHistory @SPLC

The election debacle cannot be entirely blamed on the failures of our media system, but such long-standing systemic pathologies certainly played a key role. Likewise, rebuilding a vibrant information infrastructure must be a central piece of a broader re-democratization project.

@RickABright On your important NYT piece. Over 3-4 decades federal agencies instituted rules banning staff from speaking to the press without oversight by PIOs, the authorities. It's an astounding mistake. Please read. quillmag.com/2022/09/22/for… and profficecensorship.blogspot.com/2024/09/resour…

Did journalism take a massive turn when agencies, etc., began banning subordinates from speaking to reporters without controls on them? I have posted a decade or so worth of resources: profficecensorship.blogspot.com @AJHAsocial @MacAejmc @AEJMC_MCS @JHistoryJournal @pressfreedom

Journalists and others have been documenting the unconstitutional gag rules and "Censorship by PIO" for over a decade. Why are big press outlets not opposing the restrictions? Here's a listing of articles, surveys, etc., for researchers and others. profficecensorship.blogspot.com/2024/09/resour…

NYT got scoop about conflict of interest in FDA's medical devices division, but the whole press did not know for 15 years. Time to stop the gag rules banning people from talking to the media: profficecensorship.blogspot.com/2024/09/fda-co…
