The Washington Post just laid off 300+ reporters and gutted key desks. It's the same pattern across the industry: big money reshapes outlets around its own priorities and leaves them hollow. With this landscape shifting fast, how can independents like TheLine.Info step up?

CPJ condemns the decision by ICE not to comply with a federal immigration judge order that granted bail to journalist Mario Guevara, who was originally arrested on First Amendment-related charges. Those charges were dropped on June 25. CPJ calls for Guevara’s immediate release. cpj.org?p=494636

If Mario Guevara’s case proceeds, it would represent a grim erosion of both freedom of the press and the rule of law. Journalists who are not U.S. citizens could be at risk of deportation without charges ever being tried in court. Read the letter: cpj.org/2025/06/cpj-...
