"The boundaries between political power, legal strategy and media freedom have shifted"
"The year 2025 will go down in history as the year journalism was directly attacked by the highest office in the United States."
"On December 16, Donald Trump filed a $10bn (€8.5bn) lawsuit against the BBC, the British public broadcaster, arguing that an edited version of his January 6 speech in a Panorama documentary misrepresented him in a wrongful and damaging way. It is the first time an American president has ever sued a European news organisation. A precedent of unprecedented scale."
The boundaries between political power, legal strategy and media freedom have shifted. The year 2025 will go down in history as the year journalism was directly attacked by the highest office in the United States. On December 16, Donald Trump filed a $10bn (€8.5bn) lawsuit against the BBC, the British public broadcaster. The lawsuit alleges that an edited version of his January 6 speech in a Panorama documentary misrepresented him in a wrongful and damaging way. The filing marks the first time an American president has sued a European news organisation. The action establishes a legal and political precedent of unprecedented scale with broad implications for press freedom.
