The sitdown also will be accompanied by a fact check on NBCNews.com.

The CBS newsmagazine is stretching on some Sundays when CBS airs an NFL doubleheader, starting Oct. 8. Often, the show doesn’t air until 7:30 p.m. on the East Coast those nights (it usually starts at 7 p.m.).

Andrea Mitchell: “On Sept. 17, another milestone will be passed for women journalists. Kristen Welker is set to become the 13th moderator of Meet the Press, the longest-running show on American television. For the first time, every Sunday public affairs program will be moderated or co-moderated by a woman as Welker joins Dana Bash, Shannon Bream, Margaret Brennan, Jen Psaki and Martha Raddatz at the helms for their respective networks. Not that long ago, ‘woman journalist’ was almost an oxymoron, especially in broadcast news.”

NBC’s Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd has ended his run. “After nine years and more than 430 broadcasts, today is my final Sunday in the moderator chair,” he said at the top of the hour. “To say that this has been the honor and privilege of my lifetime is an understatement.”

A federal judge handed down a rare and alarming court decision this week that could have significant implications for the free press in America. Judge Christopher Cooper, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, issued a ruling to compel CBS News senior correspondent Catherine Herridge to participate in a deposition regarding the identity of a confidential source or sources she used for a series of 2017 stories published while she worked at Fox News.

In an era saturated with digital immediacy, the evolution of news consumption patterns has been both swift and striking. A decade ago, social media platforms held the promise of revolutionizing local news delivery – with broadcasters devoting countless resources to platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. They were heralded as a fresh conduit for information, a means for local stations to expand their reach and a tool to foster a more intimate connection with viewers. Today, however, the landscape appears starkly different. The sheen of social media has dulled and its value for local broadcasters has been called into question.

The judge who will oversee Donald Trump’s arraignment on Tuesday says that cameras are a no-no in the courtroom and the courthouse. In fact, reporters won’t even be allowed to use their cellphones and other electronic equipment inside the courthouse, per an order from the chief district judge of the Florida federal court. Meanwhile, Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman, who will preside over the arraignment, has rejected a media coalition request for limited camera access before the proceedings, as well as to make audio available afterward. There will be an overflow room with a video feed, but reporters will have to run outside the courthouse to provide any updates on what is happening inside.
