A contentious decision to feature former President Donald Trump in a question-and-answer panel during the National Association of Black Journalists' annual convention has stirred backlash from prominent Black journalists and members of the association. The unexpected announcement revealed that Trump would be interviewed by three journalists on pressing issues facing the Black community. The move prompted resignations, objections, and debate within the journalism community as some question the decision to give Trump a platform at the convention. The NABJ stands by the event, highlighting the importance of vetting candidates and providing a platform for critical conversations. Discussions surrounding journalism, disinformation, and accountability are set to take center stage at the convention in Chicago.
