Jen Psaki Will Serve Citizens the Truth, but Only as Far as Biden Wants

In his inauguration speech, Joe Biden emphasized that “defending the truth to combat lies” is very important. A few hours later, the new press secretary, Jen Psaki, held her first daily briefing at the White House. In that little room – I’ve been there, and it really is small – correspondents will once again have […]

Coronavirus and Information: the Anti-journalist Virus is Killing Democracy

In Italiano When you are facing a very grave crisis in a democracy, one that puts the lives of citizens in danger, as with a war or an earthquake– or even more so in a pandemic, how should journalists behave? Should they perhaps “suspend” their role of “watchdog” that digs up the wrongdoings of the […]

Coronavirus e informazione: i malati di virus anti giornalisti uccidono la democrazia

In English Quando si è difronte ad una gravissima crisi che mette in pericolo la vita dei cittadini – come una guerra, un terremoto… una pandemia! – in una democrazia i giornalisti come dovrebbero comportarsi?

Khashoggi’s Murder, Jamal’s Fiancée Hatice Cengiz Calls for Justice

The world is only aware of Jamal Khashoggi’s public face, especially his journalistic work and his criticism against the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman and King Salman.

At first, I didn’t think we could have a special relationship", she said.

Gaia Pianigiani’s Beauty of Journalism: Freedom Will Always Have a Future

She thinks that journalists are “artisans of words,” and that, in order to carry out this profession every day, you need care, precision, and inventiveness, just like a craftsman. And she maintains that she became an “artisan of words” thanks to her stubbornness because despite the recommendations of those who (maybe wisely) had advised her […]

Journalism as a Vocation: Being Young Reporters in Dangerous Countries

We asked the young fellows who attended the Reham Al-Farra Memorial Journalism Fellowship at the UN last fall to tell us what being journalists in their countries – where the press works in difficult circumstances – is like, and what it means to them. Here are the answers of some of them.

Trump’s War on “Fake News”: The Ripple Effect on Journalists Around the World

From America to around the world, the U.S. led-attack on free press has made life dangerous for all journalists. On October 2 Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi columnist for The Washington Post and a U.S. resident, entered Saudi Arabia's Consulate in Istanbul but has not been seen since. Turkish officials say they believe Khashoggi was murdered in the Saudi Consulate. This would serve as another example of the extent of the repercussions journalists might face for simply voicing their concern towards a regime.
