Mayor Brandon Johnson, his message, and the media: Time for a course correction before public loses faith – Chicago Sun-Times

In an apparent effort to turn things around, Johnson scheduled a meeting with the Chicago Sun-Times editorial board this week that would have been his first. But Monday’s meeting ended abruptly — after Johnson and board members had introduced themselves — when press secretary Ronnie Reese insisted the entire session be off the record. Said David Greising, of the Better Government Association "The lack of serious engagement is undermining not only the ability of the press to work with this administration but the public’s confidence that he is doing the work.”
