Don Lemon has lost his press credentials from all three organizations, a move that has shocked the American media. This unprecedented move is a shocking and unified condemnation of behavior that these groups have decided “does not qualify as journalism.”
The Press Society of America, the AFPP, and the Certified Press Guild taking away Don Lemon’s credentials could be a sign of things to come. It draws a definite line in the sand. It reminds both young and experienced journalists that they can say what they want, but they have to act responsibly if they want to preserve their press credentials.
Major organizations stand in unity against Don Lemon
These three different groups rarely work together so quickly and smoothly. The Press Society of America, the AFPP, and the Certified Press Guild usually work alone to uphold different standards of media ethics and access. The fact that they all released statements at the same time shows how serious they are about the situation.
Each group put out a statement that clearly condemned Lemon’s recent actions and formally distanced themselves from how he acted professionally. The message is clear: the press can only have certain rights if they follow a code of conduct that puts truth, verification, and public service ahead of provocation.
Jon Raebro, president of the American Free Press Professionals (AFPP), wrote the most scathing things. Raebro didn’t hold back when he talked about the decision to take Lemon’s credentials away.
In a press release that has since gone viral, Raebro said, “Mr. Lemon should be behind a desk with a fake-news disclaimer.” “That’s not journalism.”
The disconnect was Don Lemon’s definition of a journalist
It is said that to grasp the weight of this decision, it is important to examine the principles that these organizations are striving to safeguard. The statements that were made saying that the decision was based on a basic disagreement about what a journalist’s job is in today’s world. Don Lemon is not what they consider a real journalist.
