WASHINGTON, May 12 – National Press Club President Mike Balsamo issued the following statement today after President Trump’s first overseas trip without wire service reporters aboard Air Force One.  “Wire service reporters are central to a free and independent press—providing fast, fact-based reporting that millions of people around the world rely on every day. Their absence from Air Force One today breaks with decades of precedent and limits access to critical information about the president’s actions abroad. Democracy depends on transparency. The National Press Club joins the White House Correspondents’ Association in urging a swift return to full access for wire reporters.” About the National Press Club Founded in 1908, the National Press Club is the world’s leading professional organization for journalists. The Club has 2,500 members representing nearly every major journalism organization. The Club and its Center for Press Freedom are leading voices for press freedom matters in the U.S. and worldwide.
