OUR RESEARCH WEBINAR
How COVID-19 is threatening press freedom worldwide
The issue. For World Press Freedom Day, Meera Selva wrote an article for our website saying "the pandemic has intensified existing pressures on journalists and created new threats. It has exposed every single weakness in an already fractured business model, and has highlighted how trust in journalism is key to the media’s future."
Our webinar. Meera, the Director of the Journalist Fellowship Programme, outlined some of these new threats that have emerged during the pandemic including the idea of ‘unpatriotic’ reporting and misuse of travel restriction and freedom of information laws. Some of our global cohort of Journalist Fellows, and others joined Meera to share their on-the-ground experiences.
