A proposed federal rule change would force visiting journalists to renew their U.S. visa every 240 days. Given this admin's priorities, @lapressclub.bsky.social submitted a comment on how the change would undermine trade: www.regulations.gov/comment/ICEB... RSF coverage: rsf.org/en/usa-propo...

Trying to prosecute journalists for doing their job is an obscene waste of taxpayer dollars. Despite a lousy track record here, our last Los Angeles City Attorney admitted it's NOT "in the interest of justice" to prosecute press. LA Press Club stands with our colleagues from Ohio (charged in KY).

I made a DRAFT field guide to help journalists (or anyone) navigate police + protests in Los Angeles. ~80% done. Slides all illustrated w/photos: 👮 Agencies & Uniforms 🔫 Firearms & Devices 🎯 Munitions 🦺 PPE 🏥 Injuries Sharing this as rough draft b/c feedback VERY welcome! (Note: Google Slides.)

“The blood of journalists is quite literally being spilled in our streets. And the companies that employ these journalists are telling them to put a sock in it.” Watch @lapressclub.bsky.social's @adamrose.bsky.social‬ explain why this is not just a press freedom issue — but a labor issue too.

Ryanne was shot in the head for doing her job as a journalist. When gov targets the press, it’s not just an attack on reporters—it’s a violation of the First Amendment and the public’s right to know. We’re proud to join @aclusocal.bsky.social & @lapressclub.bsky.social to demand accountability.

Today, attorneys representing the Los Angeles Press Club filed a complaint in federal court seeking to restrict use of force by LAPD on our members and journalists. Recent police attacks on our colleagues are both wrong and unlawful. Journalism is not a crime. @lapressclub.bsky.social

Great to see this on file so quickly. LAPD's assaults on journalists must stop now.

Message to our members about the lawsuit we have filed over LAPD attacking press. Among reminders: "Above all, we hope you and your colleagues are OK. Some of you are not. Please take time for self care, your health and safety are more important than any story. " lapressclub.org/la-press-clu...

Given the effective collapse of the bird site, I’m finding it harder to keep tabs on problematic police-press interactions during protests in California. If anyone is aware of a problem, message me here, there, or at pressrights [at] lapressclub [dot] org

Journalists have done an extraordinary job keeping our communities informed about wildfires the past week. We've learned a LOT about covering disaster zones, and put together tips that can help you cover all types of disasters in California. Be safe! lapressclub.org/tips-for-jou...

Los Angeles journalists: If you personally suffered losses due to fire, these emergency grants may help. I don't share this list often b/c funds can run out and I want to limit expectations, but this is the moment some funds were made for (esp. BFOA). adamrose.notion.site/Emergency-Gr...
