Mayor Brandon Johnson Faces Criticism for Lack of Media Engagement

Chicago's Mayor Johnson is under fire for avoiding press interactions, raising concerns about transparency and accountability.

Mayor Brandon Johnson abruptly ended a meeting with the Chicago Sun-Times after refusing to speak on the record, highlighting his tense relationship with the media.
Critics argue that Johnson's avoidance of the press undermines public trust and hinders the flow of information to Chicagoans.
Johnson's administration has been marked by limited media appearances and evasive responses, contrasting sharply with previous mayors' more open communication styles.
The mayor's reluctance to engage with the media has led to frustration among journalists and calls for a change in approach to ensure transparency.
Despite the criticism, Johnson's office has not provided a response, leaving questions about his strategy for media relations and governance.
