Despite a year of animosity between the White House and traditional media outlets like The New York Times, there's little doubt President Donald Trump has transformed the American media landscape.

NYT Managing Editor Joseph Kahn joined United States Studies Centre CEO Professor Simon Jackman to discuss the renaissance for US investigative reporting, the impact of the "fake news" debate, and the current direction of the Trump administration.
