The first detailed breakdown of Project 2025 shows how it aims to shrink press access, strip away source protections, and institutionalize media suppression, mimicking tactics seen in authoritarian regimes like Hungary and Argentina. Our report explains why this poses a historic risk to independent journalism.

Building trust between newsrooms and communities takes time, and what happens with national media often impacts how people view even local media. I’m fearful that decisions being made now by a few high-profile newsrooms will further degrade trust in journalism across the nation.
