That frustration is part and parcel of clear trends of successive administrations. Inevitably they believe they can manage their “message” and images of a president more effectively by avoiding traditional media, keeping even the frequently pedestrian under wraps and circumventing the mainstream press through their own use of social media or many new outlets. <a href="http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/355343/white-house-correspondents-unveil-proposals-to-loosen-white-house-press-control/" class="read-more">Read more</a>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/355343/white-house-correspondents-unveil-proposals-to-loosen-white-house-press-control/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Flags, fireworks, freedom of the press and an eagle: Here are 5 Fourth of July fronts</title> <link>http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/355323/flags-fireworks-freedom-of-the-press-and-an-eagle-here-are-5-fourth-of-july-fronts/</link> <comments>http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/355323/flags-fireworks-freedom-of-the-press-and-an-eagle-here-are-5-fourth-of-july-fronts/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2015 12:07:18 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Kristen Hare]]></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[MediaWire]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.poynter.org/?p=355323</guid> <description><![CDATA[Sunday fronts will likely be bursting with images of fireworks from around the country, but newspapers are celebrating the Fourth of July today, too.

A judge <a href="http://www.ksl.com/?nid=157&sid=35237331">ruled</a> that the bureau and another law enforcement agency had to turn over evidence related to an investigation into a sex tape that figures prominently into Gawker’s pending high-stakes lawsuit. But during a hearing today, lawyers from Gawker Media expressed concerns about the evidence. Representatives from Gawker Media, the FBI and the Executive Office of United States Attorneys appeared before a judge at a United States District Court in Tampa, Florida. The purpose of the hearing was to sort out which documents requested by Gawker under the Freedom of Information Act the law enforcement organizations were legally obligated to turn over. <a href="http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/355219/gawker-media-alleges-serious-irregularity-in-hulk-hogan-sex-tape-evidence/" class="read-more">Read more</a>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/355219/gawker-media-alleges-serious-irregularity-in-hulk-hogan-sex-tape-evidence/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>This short week on Medium: 5 media stories you may have missed</title> <link>http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/355121/this-short-week-on-medium-5-media-stories-you-may-have-missed/</link> <comments>http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/355121/this-short-week-on-medium-5-media-stories-you-may-have-missed/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 02 Jul 2015 18:34:06 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Kristen Hare]]></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[MediaWire]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Medium]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.poynter.org/?p=355121</guid> <description><![CDATA[It’s a short week, but there has been some good stuff on Medium about journalism and for journalists.

The ruling, issued by Florida’s Second District Court of Appeal, states that a circuit court erred when it set a July 6 trial date because it didn’t allow for enough time to pass between the last motion related to the case and the trial date. From the ruling: <blockquote>Although we easily understand why Bollea and the circuit court went to lengths to preserve the July 6 trial date, their efforts were futile from the outset — by the time the court entered its June 19 order scheduling the trial for July 6, the window for doing so had been closed for weeks.</blockquote> <a href="http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/355153/court-orders-gawker-media-trial-date-canceled/" class="read-more">Read more</a>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/355153/court-orders-gawker-media-trial-date-canceled/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Writers, editors at Salon move to unionize</title> <link>http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/355155/writers-editors-at-salon-move-to-unionize/</link> <comments>http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/355155/writers-editors-at-salon-move-to-unionize/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 02 Jul 2015 17:02:18 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[James Warren]]></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[MediaWire]]></category> <category><![CDATA[East]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Gawker Media]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Salon]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Writers Guild of America]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.poynter.org/?p=355155</guid> <description><![CDATA[Following editorial workers at Gawker Media, editorial staff at Salon is moving to unionize and bargain a first contract with their employer. <a href="https://www.wgaeast.org/2015/07/salon-medias-editorial-staff-to-unionize-with-the-writers-guild-of-america-east/">They’ve signed on with the Writers Guild of America, East</a>, the same union that recently<a href="http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/349205/gawker-media-workers-vote-for-union/"> won a representation election at Gawker Media</a> and is at the start of a process to try to bargain a contract. “We are doing this because we believe in our publication and want it to be successful,” workers said in a joint statement issued with the union. “We’re especially proud to work for a media organization that has championed progressive values for nearly twenty years.” “We believe this organizing campaign is a positive and public way for us to put those values into practice, right here at home. <a href="http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/355155/writers-editors-at-salon-move-to-unionize/" class="read-more">Read more</a>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/355155/writers-editors-at-salon-move-to-unionize/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>College student Trey Yingst skips classes … to report from conflict zones</title> <link>http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/354617/college-student-trey-yingst-skips-classes-to-report-from-conflict-zones/</link> <comments>http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/354617/college-student-trey-yingst-skips-classes-to-report-from-conflict-zones/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 02 Jul 2015 13:40:54 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Daniel Reimold]]></dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[MediaWire]]></category> <category><![CDATA[American University]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News2share]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Trey Yingst]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.poynter.org/?p=354617</guid> <description><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_354711" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://www.poynter.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Trey-2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-354711" src="http://www.poynter.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Trey-2-300x200.jpg" alt="Trey Yingst in Baltimore late one night during the Freddie Gray riots providing medical assistance to Connor Wolf from The Daily Caller who had been attacked.

(Photo courtesy of Trey Yingst)</div> On a Monday evening this past April, journalist <a href="https://twitter.com/TreyYingst">Trey Yingst</a> set foot in a part of Baltimore that he said, “looked like there were no laws.” Amid the furor and fervor sparked by Freddie Gray’s death, he observed hundreds of people smashing store windows, overturning vehicles, looting, setting fires and fighting with each other and the police. At first, every time he raised his camera to shoot, rioters swarmed, threatening to attack. The press group he was with was targeted and confronted by angry rioters armed with hammers and 40-ounce bottles. A reporter near him was later punched in the face and a second was hit in the head with a bottle, each requiring on-the-scene medical attention and a hospital trip. <a href="http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/354617/college-student-trey-yingst-skips-classes-to-report-from-conflict-zones/" class="read-more">Read more</a>]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.poynter.org/news/mediawire/354617/college-student-trey-yingst-skips-classes-to-report-from-conflict-zones/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>New book honors sportswriting legend W.C.
