The Harris-Walz campaign has recently come under scrutiny for denying access to reporters and photographers from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette at various campaign events.
Daily Caller Screenshot This exclusion has reportedly been connected to ongoing labor disputes within the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's parent company, as highlighted in an op-ed by the paper's editor, Brandon McGinley.

McGinley criticized the campaign's actions, stating that they amount to "Political pandering at the expense of core democratic principles." He argued that by blocking access to the press, the Harris-Walz campaign is engaging in the very behavior they claim to oppose within the Republican Party.
The dispute between the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Harris-Walz campaign is rooted in a labor action that began in October 2022.
During this period, the union allegedly influenced Democratic officials and candidates to avoid granting interviews to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
