David Enrich\u2019s latest book, to be published in March, is about the campaign to limit press freedoms. Katie Robertson covers the media industry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Reporters and editors at national newspapers are increasing their reliance on encrypted communications to help shield themselves and their sources from potential federal leak investigations and subpoenas.<\/p>\n

Multiple media organizations are evaluating whether they have enough insurance coverage to absorb a potential wave of libel and other litigation from officials who have already shown an inclination to file such suits.<\/p>\n

And a nonprofit investigative journalism outlet is preparing for the possibility that the government will investigate issues like whether its use of freelancers complies with labor regulations.<\/p>\n

With President-elect Donald J. Trump returning to the White House, media outlets large and small are taking steps to prepare for what they fear could be a legal and political onslaught against them from the new administration and Mr. Trump\u2019s allies inside and outside the government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For nearly a decade, Mr. Trump has demonized and tried to delegitimize the media. He has attacked reporters as \u201cthe enemy of the people.\u201d He has repeatedly sued news organizations. In his first administration, the White House at times<\/a> barred<\/a> out-of-favor journalists from attending events.<\/p>\n

But the early indications are that his new administration could be more hostile to the press. For example, Mr. Trump\u2019s choice to run the F.B.I., Kash Patel, said before the election that a new Trump administration would \u201ccome after<\/a> the people in the media.\u201d Brendan Carr, the expected chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, recently raised the prospect<\/a> of revoking federal broadcast licenses for television stations that he perceived as biased against conservatives.<\/p>\n
