American press

Stateside news outlets

The American press refers collectively to news media organizations in the United States—newspapers, magazines, broadcasters, and digital outlets.

The term often appears in discussions of press freedom, media bias, or journalism's role in democracy: The American press has been criticized for sensationalism.

It can also distinguish U.S. media from foreign coverage: The American press covered the summit differently than European outlets.
