The book, titled The Enemy Of The People: A Dangerous Time To Tell The Truth In America, will be about the Trump White House and its combative and deteriorating relationship with the news media. (Axios)

The book will include “never-before-revealed stories of this White House’s rejection of truth, while laying out the stakes for how Trump’s hostility toward facts poses an unprecedented threat to our democracy,” according to the publisher, the Harper imprint of HarperCollins. (The Wrap)

Acosta made headlines in November following a White House press conference in which he refused to relinquish a microphone while posing questions to Trump, prompting the White House to pull his press credentials. CNN sued and a federal judge ruled in the network’s favor, restoring Acosta’s credentials. (The Hill)

April Ryan, a CNN contributor who has also seen her profile rise during the Trump administration, wrote her own book about covering the White House in September. (THR)
