The Boston Globe has urged newspapers nationwide to publish editorials on Aug. 16 condemning Trump’s anti-media rhetoric.

To counter what it describes as President Donald Trump’s “dirty war against the free press,” The Boston Globe is urging newspapers across the country to take a coordinated stand against his anti-media attacks.

And scores have already answered the call to battle.

The Globe issued an appeal last week to editorial boards nationwide, urging them to publish editorials this Thursday that lambast the “dangers of the administration’s assault on the press.”

On Saturday, Marjorie Pritchard, the Globe’s deputy editorial page editor, told CNN that more than 100 publications ― ranging from big city papers to small weeklies ― have committed to participate.

“I expect that number to grow in the coming days,” Pritchard said.
