A tense moment between President Donald Trump and CNN's Kaitlan Collins is a stark reminder of how the conflict between the administration and some news outlets has escalated in just a few days.

To air or not to air.

More often than not, big stories happen out of the sight of journalists.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has drawn negative attention for his comment that the press has emphasized casualties in the Iran war because it wants to make President Donald Trump look bad.

Shortly after it became known that Paramount was the apparent victor in the competition to buy CNN's parent company, network president Mark Thompson was compelled to send his staff a note to calm down, in effect.

The Trump administration has called journalists “despicable,” even questioned the patriotism of some, as part of its vigorous response to criticism in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly sent by immigration officials to a notorious prison in El Salvador.

The White House has put forward a new media policy that sharply curtails access to Donald Trump by the news agencies that serve media outlets around the world.

A basic tenet of journalism — calling someone for comment on a story — was seen as a threat by defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth's mother.

CNN is making dramatic changes to its lineup, with new roles for Abby Phillip, Laura Coates and news veterans Christiane Amanpour and Chris Wallace.

Christiane Amanpour, the veteran international correspondent who has been at CNN for 40 years, became the network's most prominent journalist to publicly criticize the decision to host Donald Trump for a town hall in New Hampshire last week.

CNN is filling a prime-time vacancy by appointing Kaitlan Collins to host the network's 9 p.m. Eastern hour.

Former President Donald Trump dug in on his lies about the 2020 election during a tense CNN town hall.

Donald Trump's town hall forum on CNN on Wednesday is the first major TV event of the 2024 presidential campaign, and a big test for the chosen moderator, Kaitlan Collins.

CNN's Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins paid a brief tribute on Tuesday to fired colleague Don Lemon at the opening of “CNN This Morning” on Tuesday.

Amid ongoing criticism over his comments about Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, Don Lemon was absent Monday from “CNN This Morning.”.

CNN anchor Don Lemon startled some colleagues on the network's morning show with his implication that 51-year-old Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley was past her prime.

CNN is launching its new morning show a week before the midterm elections, before a new set is even built, to try and take advantage of an expected bump in viewership at the time.

CNN says it is scrapping its “New Day” morning show for a revamped program that will be hosted by Don Lemon, Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins, set to debut later this year.

Conservative firebrand Meghan McCain says that she's quitting ABC's daytime talk show ‘The View’ after four years.

By abandoning the traditional joint press conference in favor of separate events, U.S. President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin accomplished their own objectives following their summit on Wednesday.

NEW YORK – If there's one thing clear after White House press secretary Jen Psaki's first session with reporters on Wednesday, it's that she's determined to minimize drama in the briefing room. The 42-year-old Psaki (pronounced SOCK-eee) was a State Department spokesperson and White House communications director in former President Barack Obama's administration. Psaki showed a bone-dry wit when one reporter asked if Biden planned to keep the new color scheme that Trump ordered for Air Force One. CNN's chief White House correspondent, Kaitlan Collins, pointed to the lack of attacks on reporters coming from the podium. “This is the way it should have been for four years with President Trump.

Both Fox and CNN announced schedule changes on Monday, Jan. 11, 2021. Both Fox and CNN announced lineup changes Monday, as is often the case for news organizations with a new president about to take power. For years, first with Shepard Smith and then with MacCallum, Fox has stressed news instead of opinion in that hour. In fact, Newsmax issued a statement that its improved daytime and 7 p.m. ratings since the election has triggered changes at Fox. Since the election, CNN has averaged 1.92 million viewers in those daytime hours, with Fox and MSNBC both at 1.53 million.

A member of the cleaning staff sprays The James Brady Briefing Room of the White House, Monday, Oct. 5, 2020, in Washington. CNN's Kaitlan Collins said it was “irresponsible, at best.”“It’s frustrating,” said Jonathan Karl, ABC News White House correspondent. “The only people who have habitually not followed that rule have been that White House staff,” Karl said. For example, the White House arranged to increase the buffer zone between the audience at Trump rallies and journalists. But at the White House, Ryan said she is concerned for fellow reporters.

Reporters Alcindor, Weijia Jiang and Kaitlan Collins have faced hostility from Trump at news conferences with stoicism. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, FIle)NEW YORK To anyone who's watched, there's more that binds Yamiche Alcindor, Kaitlan Collins and Weijia Jiang than an impromptu display of teamwork at a recent White House news conference. Each reporter has a knack for getting under President Donald Trump's skin and an equal ability not to let it knock them off stride. Trump has reacted to questions by Alcindor, Collins and Jiang by calling them nasty or racist, and effectively telling the journalists to pipe down. This president doesn't live by those rules.Jiang, Collins and Alcindor aren't the only reporters to tangle with Trump.
