This latest fight over White House press access got me thinking about Harry McAlpin and Alice Dunnigan, two Black journalists who faced enormous resistance simply because they insisted on entering the room and asking questions government officials wanted to avoid. The history behind today’s dispute goes back much further than one administration or one lawsuit. I explore it in my new Substack Breakdown, “When Power Chooses the Press.” #TheBreakdown #BlackPress #BlackHistory #Journalism #Substack
