International Women's Media Foundation

“Piggy.” “Stupid.” “Ugly.” President Trump’s attacks on women journalists are misogynistic, demeaning, and dangerous. They are not isolated comments — they are part of a broader pattern of hostility toward women in the press. And they are an attack on #PressFreedom itself. 🧵

@NYT This is the 28th incident of Trump targeting a woman journalist with such rhetoric since he first ran for president in 2016, and the 12th incident in 2026 alone. Learn more about these incidents through our comprehensive On the Record timeline here: iwmf.org/on-the-record/

This weekend, Trump took to social media to insult and threaten @NYT's Maggie Haberman after she questioned his medical fitness for office. Calling her "Maggot" and threatening the NYT with a hefty lawsuit for her reporting.

A strong preference will be given to multimedia journalists focusing on Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, as well as transnational reporting teams exploring the connections of ultra-right groups and their links to U.S.-based organizations. Learn more here: iwmf.submittable.com/submit/356354/…
