(Posting in my personal capacity.) Jailed for Telling the Truth: Honoring #USAGM Journalists on #WPFD
On #WorldPressFreedomDay, remember the 10 journalists from USAGM networks, including #VoiceofAmerica, who are in jail in #Vietnam, #Russia, #Belarus, and #Myanmar because of their #journalism.

#WorldPressFreedomDay: Aktuell gerät die #Pressefreiheit weltweit immer stärker unter Druck: Journalistïnnen werden eingeschränkt und bedroht. Bereits in 90 Ländern ist die Situation für Medienschaffende laut Reporter ohne Grenzen „schwierig“ oder „sehr ernst“: #WPFD https://www.riffreporter.de/de/schlagworte/pressefreiheit
Today is World Press Freedom Day.
Press freedom is essential for democracy. It is under (economic, political) threat in many places.
In fact press freedom is declining and only very few countries have high degrees of press freedom.

Today, on #WorldPressFreedomDay, I want to honor the Palestinian journalists and media workers in #Gaza who’ve shown us for the past 200+ days what true, courageous, and determined journalism is. We won’t forget you, and we will keep telling your story.
I also want to acknowledge my colleagues at @mediadefence, who work passionately to provide legal support to journalists and independent media worldwide. I couldn’t be prouder to serve you as Board Trustee.
On #PressFreedomDay, it's a disgrace for the West that Julian #Assange remains in prison for his unwelcome revelations!

Am Tag der #Pressefreiheit ist es eine Schande, dass Julian #Assange für seine unbequemen Enthüllungen weiter in Haft ist!
„Die Einschüchterung der Presse soll uns in Unwissenheit halten“, erklärt Stella Assange im sehenswerten Gespräch mit mir. Das Video: https://peertube.european-pirates.eu/w/mgngHbYu18VCiYWjbMsCAY
Nur #Transparenz ermöglicht uns Kontrolle der Mächtigen!

Zum internationalen #TagDerPressefreiheit darf man als Mitarbeiter des @DJV auch mal ein bisschen pathetisch werden, finde ich. Deswegen hier mein pathetisches Pamphlet Pro #Pressefreiheit im #DJV-Blog von der Konferenz #Safety4Journalists der @EFJEurope. https://www.djv.de/startseite/service/blogs-und-intranet/djv-blog/detail/news-keine-pressefreiheit-ohne-sicherheit
In the global information war, we can all be online peacekeepers.
