Airbnb said it will help those affected by Donald Trump’s Muslim travel ban on Saturday, but is yet to share the fine print.

Journalists across the country are using a Slack channel to tackle Trump

In the new era of “alternative facts,” journalists will need all the help they can get in covering the Trump administration and administering the correct Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to hold the administration accountable.

The future of journalism under President Trump

AL JAZEERA ENGLISH (IN DEPTH)

Will the White House press corps fall in line or fight back with adversarial journalism? Plus, Obama’s media legacy.

As the Trump era dawns, the media is doubling down on investigative journalism

Mashable! by Jason Abbruzzese

Nieman Journalism Lab by Shan Wang

A family’s garage vandalized with an image of a swastika and a hateful message targeted at Arabs. Jewish community centers receiving bomb threats.

Nieman Journalism Lab by Laura Hazard Owen

Boing Boing by Cory Doctorow

“Nearly a dozen” White House staffers have told Washington Post reporters that Trump was “demoralized” by press reports that showed a poor turnout for his inauguration and a much larger turnout for the Women’s March the next day, and overruled his advisors and aides’ advice to let it go — instead, he ordered press secretary Sean Spicer to tell a series of easily falsifiable lies to the media that misrepresented the turnout for the inauguration.
