News organizations banned from Donald Trump’s press list will find themselves on at least one guest list during the Republican National Convention next week. BuzzFeed plans to invite journalists from outlets being denied press credentials to its “Red, White, & Blacklisted” party in Cleveland. The guest list also will include journalists from non-blacklisted outlets, as well as other convention attendees. “And as an OG blacklisted media outlet, we might as well celebrate that coverage, and invite some reporters who find themselves in similar situations.” “We haven’t let the campaign’s decisions about access affect our aggressive coverage of Trump,” a BuzzFeed spokeswoman told HuffPost.
