The outlet, which describes itself as Pennsylvania’s only African American-owned and operated radio station, also said the White House’s decision to supply questions to Lawful-Sanders prolonged a historical practice of marginalizing and “de-legitimizing Black voices” in US media.
“Lawful-Sanders was one of two battleground state radio hosts who aired an interview with Biden on 4 July and described being given questions by the president’s staff ahead of the conversation.”
No. It’s fairly common for interviewees to ask for a list of questions beforehand, but according to Boston University journalism professor Christopher Daly “it is not good professional practice to give questions in advance to sources such as public officials.” And to let the interviewee actually write the questions for you is egregious journalism malpractice, thus the resignation.
