Journalists anticipate a renewed hostility toward their work under the incoming Trump administration

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Trump engages with the mainstream media - he gave a newsmaking interview to NBC's "Meet the Press" this month - but journalists have to be alert to how their work will be portrayed.
43% : "But I don't think we've reached it." Speaking to Fox News two weeks after his election, Trump said he owed it to the American people to be open and available to the press - if he's treated fairly.
34% : To a large extent, Trump sidestepped legacy media outlets during his campaign in favor of podcasters, yet still had time for specific beefs against ABC, CBS and NBC.
23% : In the Stephanopoulos lawsuit, the ABC anchor said Trump had been "found liable for rape" in writer E. Jean Carroll's civil trial, when he had not.
18% : It may have seemed like a flippant remark to some of his supporters when Trump, months after an attempt on his life, said at a rally that he wouldn't mind if somebody had to "shoot through the fake news" to get to him.
17% : The return to power of Donald Trump, who has called journalists enemies and talked about retribution against those he feels have wronged him, has news executives nervous.
17% : During the presidential campaign, Trump sued CBS News for the way it edited an interview with opponent Kamala Harris; suggested ABC News lose its broadcast license for fact-checking him during his lone debate with Harris; and successfully called for equal time on NBC after Harris appeared on "Saturday Night Live."
