    One battle after another: A warrior for press freedom in the time of Trump - Editor and Publisher (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There’s a case to be made that David McCraw is the tip of the spear defending press freedoms under attack in the United States today. McCraw is the lead newsroom lawyer for The New York Times, which is defending itself and the news industry’s freedom from government interference on multiple fronts. In March it won a lawsuit over new Pentagon policies restricting reporters’ access, though the fight continues as the Department of Defense weasels around the ruling with additional restrictions.

But it’s worth following a lawsuit filed June 24 by a group of small newspapers, alleging that OpenAI and Microsoft pilfered news stories to train their AI systems.
