Is press freedom at stake during the Democratic National Convention? | Yes, say advocates

As the Democratic National Convention starts, journalists are on the ground to cover the news both inside and outside the convention.

This is an issue for the public, who rely on journalists to report on the DNC accurately. Reset sat down with an advocate and journalist to learn more.
