"Almost four out of every 10 #journalists covering the #climate crisis and environment issues have been threatened as a result of their work, with 11% subjected to physical violence, according to groundbreaking new research.
Despite the breadth and magnitude of the problems, 39% of journalists surveyed reported having #SelfCensored – mostly due to fear of repercussions from “those undertaking illegal activities” or the government."
“Go on home, get a nice hot bath. Rest up... 15 minutes. Then get your asses back in gear.”
This quote from “All The President’s Men” goes out to all the #journalists I follow for their coverage of the #trial and to @Nonilex and @GottaLaff for their play by play.
"Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said on Monday it had filed a complaint with the ICC over Palestinian journalists killed or injured in Gaza"
"RSF said it had "reasonable grounds for thinking that some of these journalists were deliberately killed and that the others were the victims of deliberate IDF attacks against civilians"
"“when I WIN the Presidency of the #UnitedStates, they and others of the LameStream #Media will be thoroughly scrutinized for their knowingly dishonest & corrupt coverage of people, things, and events,” Donald #Trump posted on Truth Social last September in an attack on NBC News...
What could Trump do to the #news media and its ability to inform the American people?
Judging by what he did in his first term, plenty."

Its World Press Freedom Day & its worth remembering that not all journalist are the supine, press-release rehashing, wage slaves of corporate Right wing media companies...
Across the world & even here in Britain, there are journalists braving bullying, economic sanctions, libel cases, deaths threats & actual fatalities to reveal to us what is going on in the world.

“Objectivity is a tricky concept. Ultimately, we’re with the skeptics who say it never really made sense. And yet! For a long time “objectivity” packaged together many important ideas about truth and trust. American journalism has disowned that brand without offering a replacement.

"We have also been losing a number of colleagues and family members while reporting. It adds to the huge psychological pressure Palestinian journalists face since the start of the war.
