Trump's Dispute With The Press: Confronting Balance of Powers in the Information Age

By Julius Afolalu

The government used to have supreme power and the Press was the underdog. The Press dared not pass comment on government authority.
However, the advent of computer and information technology has catapulted the Press to the position of absolute power-so much so, that the Press and its social media outlets, like Twitter and Facebook, would not lift the ban on former President Donald Trump, even if he were to run for office again.
This is a case of the Press overstepping the bounds of separation of powers inherent in democracy. It usurps the prerogative of the Judiciary and launches an attack on the executive.
This book traces the history of the Press from its humble beginning to where it acquires absolute power. It highlights the need for checks and balances to keep the Press within its constitutional roles. Everyone should have a clear understanding of this.
