More than 300 news publications across the country are joining together to defend the role of a free press and denounce President Trump's ongoing attacks on the news media in coordinated editorials publishing Thursday, according to a tally by The Boston Globe.
The project was spearheaded by staff members of the editorial page at the Globe, who write: "This relentless assault on the free press has dangerous consequences. We asked editorial boards from around the country – liberal and conservative, large and small – to join us today to address this fundamental threat in their own words."
Marjorie Pritchard, the Globe's deputy managing editor of the editorial page who spearheaded the effort, told NPR's Morning Edition, "this editorial project is not against the Trump administration's agenda. It's a response to put us into the public discourse and defend the First Amendment."
She said the reason to publish the editorials now was "because the press needs to have a voice on this. ... We've done individual editorials, but I think it's, there is some strength in numbers of just defending a constitutionally enshrined pillar of democracy."

Liberals have lost their ever lasting minds due to college education.
This is your written confession, that over 300 news org's are committing a coordinated attack against The US Gov and its President, this IS the very definition of TREASON. They knowingly spread false information.
Its exactly what you called it “a coorodinated effort” all part of the deep state panic.
They are protected by the Constitution, but their ORIGINAL purpose was to inform the populace and keep politicians in check.
They have now become something else, which is a extended arm of the democratic party. Look at ANY national news broadcast. They give days of coverage to a porn star whore over something that may or may not have happened 10 years ago. They interview for DAYS omarosa. Do they report on 4% GDP growth? Yes, but only to give that monkey pretender obama credit for it.
North Korea GIVES us hostages back and it didn't take a plane load of cash to get it done. No news.
Korean veterans returned to the USA. Barely 1 minute.
NATO paying 50 BILLION that America doesn't have to pay and all you hear from CNN is how Trump insulted those freeloaders.
Black unemployment at historic lows and it doesn't even get covered.
Female unemployment at record lows. No news.
An economy on f'ing fire and its because of obama!?! We had to wait for that monkey pretender to LEAVE office before his wise policies and decisions would actually take effect. THAT is CNN's take.
These people have abdicated their role. They ARE now the enemy of the people. "We, the people" are absolutely sick of their Hate America and Hate Trump slant on everything they broadcast.
Remember -- Trump won in spite of every possible legal and illegal effort to stop him, including police using their official powers to subvert the election. They make Nixon look like Captain Kangaroo.
He STILL kicked their ace like a bad dog.
The press is right up there with TB, AIDS, lawyers, and politicians and they whine that no one respects their "the sky is green, dammit!" discourse.
Who can defeat Trump? NO ONE.
But the press is doing their best.
Keep cheering.
President Trump said,'the greatest threat to America is FAKE NEWS', NOT the News Media...ALL Liars
No kidding, because more people trust President Trump over the lying media.
Their knickers are in a bind because the President can bypass their concerted attempts to filter, spin and control news. And former customers no longer trust them as neutral observers and reporters. Their future is no future.
He's slowly killing the major newspapers with TRUTH!!!
Freedom of the press is protected in the Constitution, however no one is required to read or believe what is published.
SBJ
Yup
CIVIL RACE WAR 2020.
