REPORTERS COMMITTEE FOR FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
— Reporters Committee: White House must restore Brian Karem’s credentials
(DIERSEN: At its August 20, 2019 meeting, DuPage County revoked my GOPUSA press
credentials. Because of me, because of what I do for you as your GOPUSA
Illinois Editor, and without any input from DuPage County voters, “DuPage
County Board Chairman and County Board Staff” issued “DuPage County Media
Guidelines” to justify revoking my GOPUSA press credentials. SEE: https://www.dupageco.org/CountyBoard/Docs/61283/
Should I sue DuPage County like Brian Karem has sued the White House? Would the
Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press file a friend-of-the-court brief
in support of me? Would the Daily Herald, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times,
etc. file friend-of-the-court briefs in support of DuPage County? Which
Republican DuPage County officials support me – Berlin, Bucholz, Cronin,
DiCianni, Eckhoff, Elloitt, Grogan, Hart, Healy, Henry, Jorgensen, Kachiroubas,
Krajewski, Larsen, Mendrick, Puchalski, Ruscitti, Tornatore, Zay? Which
Democrat DuPage County officials support me – Chaplin, Covert, DeSart,
Kaczmarek, Ozog, Renehan, Ruthledge, Seimon?)
https://www.rcfp.org/rcfp-karem-amicus-brief/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: First
Amendment and due process require the White House restore Playboy
correspondent’s credentials, RCFP argues. On Aug. 20, journalist Brian Karem,
the White House correspondent for Playboy, filed a lawsuit against President
Donald Trump and White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham asking the
federal district court in Washington, D.C., to vacate the White House’s 30-day
suspension of his hard pass and order that it be immediately restored. Today,
the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press filed a friend-of-the-court
brief in support of Karem, arguing that the White House must provide meaningful
due process before denying, suspending, or revoking a journalist’s security credentials,
and failure to do so in this case violates settled law in the D.C. Circuit and
constitutional protections guaranteeing the flow of information to the public.
“The White House cannot suspend or revoke journalists’ credentials without due
process, based on vague standards that have never been publicly articulated,”
said Bruce Brown, executive director of the Reporters Committee. “Under clear
legal precedent, Mr. Karem’s credentials must be restored.” Before the White
House had made its final determination to suspend Karem’s hard pass on Aug. 16,
the Reporters Committee issued a statement expressing its concern over the
“preliminary decision” to suspend his hard pass and reiterated its commitment
to ensuring that journalists have the access needed to do their jobs
effectively. In November 2018, the Reporters Committee also filed a friend-of
the-court brief alongside Georgetown Law’s Institute for Constitutional
Advocacy and Protection in support of a lawsuit brought by CNN and the
network’s chief White House correspondent, Jim Acosta, after the White House
revoked Acosta’s hard pass. On Nov. 16, a federal judge ordered the White House
to reinstate Acosta’s credentials.)
