President-elect Donald Trump is poised to return to the White House, prompting anxiety among legacy journalists about his combative approach and potential threats to press freedom. A recent defamation settlement with ABC, where Trump was awarded $15 million and a public apology from George Stephanopoulos, underscores this tension.
Media representatives acknowledge the challenges ahead, including lawsuits and intimidation, with many feeling exhausted before Trump's second term begins. As Trump continues to favor alternative media over traditional outlets, concerns grow about the impact on journalism under his administration.

President-elect Donald Trump settled a defamation lawsuit against ABC for $16 million, which includes a $15 million contribution to his future presidential library and $1 million for legal fees. The New York Post criticized Trump for not pressing ABC host George Stephanopoulos harder on his claims about Trump being "found liable for rape."
The Post argued that the settlement indicates ABC's desire to avoid a potentially damaging legal battle. Critics may view this as a negative sign for Trump's administration, but the Post contends that such payouts suggest ABC anticipated a worse outcome if the case proceeded.
