Editorial Cartoons in the Era of President Trump

A discussion with longtime cartoonist David Fitzsimmons.

This month the opinion pages of newspapers across the country shared a united message that defended modern journalism amid intensifying criticism from the president. The Arizona Daily Star was among them. Its editorial featured an illustration from its longtime editorial cartoonist David Fitzsimmons, whose work also appears in hundreds of papers nationwide. With a career spanning 30 years, Arizona 360 asked him how his profession has changed over time and how he views his role as a member of the free press.
