In this UpFront special, we discuss Donald Trump's first year in office and the challenge of covering his presidency.
2017 has been a year of controversy and crisis, most notably for Donald Trump. From promoting US neo-Nazis to retweeting British neo-fascists and threatening a nuclear war with North Korea, there has never been a US president quite like Trump. His actions, statements and repeated attacks on the media have left many asking: how do you cover President Trump?
"When he attacks the media ... one of the things he's doing is to delegitimise any independent source of information that might criticise him, immunise himself against any of the bad stories that are coming," says Charles Sykes, a former Conservative radio talk show host, and author of How the Right Lost its Mind.
