NEW STATEMENT: ⚡As the U.S. government acted to curtail press freedom and free speech this week, Mario Guevara, the only journalist behind bars, faces the very real threat of deportation for doing his job and covering the news. #FreeMario cpj.org/2025/09/jour...

“If the American ideal of freedom means anything, it is that Americans can engage in an extremely wide range of political speech, including the tasteless and the offensive,” the editorial board writes.

CPJ’s CEO @jodieginsberg.bsky.social spoke with @cnn.com's Becky Anderson about Israel’s strikes on Nasser Hospital that killed five journalists in Gaza today. Watch👇

"We are outraged that independent journalists were among the victims of this strike on the hospital, a location that is protected under international law. These journalists were present in their professional capacity, doing critical work bearing witness." reutersagency.com/media-centre...

In @independent.ie, @jodieginsberg.bsky.social & I argue the deliberate, systematic targeting of #Gaza’s journalists is not only an assault on individuals; it is an attack on truth & human rights. Ireland must do more, urgently, to protect Gaza’s journalists. ⬇️ www.independent.ie/opinion/comm...

Our statement on Israel's killing of more journalists in #Gaza. "Israel’s killing of journalists continues while the world watches and fails to act firmly on the most horrific attacks the press has faced in recent history,” said CPJ’s Sara Qudah. “These murders must end now.” cpj.org/2025/08/at-l...

I have been a reporter for 25 years. I know the risks reporting in war zones. This is not that situation. This is systematic silencing by Israel. If we do not act now, there will be no one left in Gaza to tell anyone’s story. Me today for @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Never before in the Nation’s almost 250 year history has America’s present and future depended more on the free press than it does today.

Celebrating the well-deserved recognition of impact investing leaders like @palfrey.org, @darrencwalker.bsky.social and many more. Be sure to check out the #Time100Philanthropy list: time.com/collections/...

New: Trump threatens to sue @nytimes.com and @cnn.com for articles questioning his claims that Iran’s nuclear program had been eradicated. NYT responds: “No apology will be forthcoming. We told the truth to the best of our ability. We will continue to do so.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/b...

🌎 How can we ensure our planet is livable for future generations? In conversation with IPI President Zeid, author Kim Stanley Robinson unpacks how today’s policies can account for future residents of our planet. 🎙️ Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdoi...

“If the unitary executive theory is subject to exceptions for contexts in which the practical consequences of eliminating an agency’s independence would be too extreme, then it’s not much of a theory.” Today’s “One First” on #SCOTUS’s deeply flawed ruling last Thursday in Trump v. Wilcox:

“Was quite a moment, a sense we reached some kind of inflection point in U.S. history. You can now personally pay a U.S. president to gain an audience.” #crypto #corruption #Trump #WhiteHouse

“They cannot trust this president and this Attorney General to ensure their protection.” Stunning. Must read 🧵. #judiciary @wsj.com

Vietnamese officials stated in a letter that a Trump golf project requires special support from top ranks of government because it was “receiving special attention from the Trump administration and President Donald Trump personally.” @damiencave.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/w...

Watch John Oliver break down how Trump’s second administration has escalated attacks on the press on @lastweektonight.com ‬— from banning outlets to weaponizing the FCC. “We’ve seen countries backslide. The press is often the first casualty.”

John Oliver, last year's @pressfreedom.bsky.social Awards host, just devoted a show to US press freedom. He quotes former awards chair Shari Redstone who said: "Press freedom must constantly be defended." We agree. Now's the time for everyone, especially media owners, to stand up for a free press.

Earlier this week I joined six other leaders of free press and free speech groups in calling on leaders of civic and other institutions, including universities, media organizations, law firms, and businesses, to stand more resolutely in defence of these freedoms. knightcolumbia.org/content/an-o...

My warm congratulations to Mohamed Yakub Janabi on your election as Regional Director for @who.int African Region. You have earned the confidence and trust of the Member States of the region. This is a great privilege, and a very great responsibility. I assure you of my support.

The ICC’s chief prosecutor has lost access to his email, and his bank accounts have been frozen. American staffers at the court have been told that if they travel to the U.S. they risk arrest. NGOs have stopped working with the ICC, the leader of one won’t even reply to ICC emails.

New: Trump bans all US agencies from working on the #G20. Ministerial Meetings, Working Groups, and Engagement Groups are all held in the lead up to the November gathering. Hopefully POTUS & #SouthAfrica President will meet in-person soon. Scoop: @johnphudson.bsky.social

New: Trump to host the US-#Africa Leaders Summit in #NYC in late summer / early autumn (June to August) focusing on #trade and #investment. He did not host an #ALS during his first presidency. Unclear why they wouldn't tack it onto #UNGA as travel is costly. www.theafricareport.com/383817/trump...

Where does your country land on the World Press Freedom Index #RSFIndex2025? America 🇺🇸 is way down at #57! #WorldPressFreedomDay #WPFD2025 #JournalismIsNotACrime

🔴 #RSFIndex2025 A red line has been crossed. For the first time in the history of the RSF World Press Freedom Index, the conditions for practising journalism are bad in half of the world’s countries and only 1% of the planet benefits from a fully free press. #WPFD2025 #WorldPressFreedomDay

There were 263 million cases of malaria in 2023, with 80% of cases among children under 5. Nearly half of all cases were reported in: Nigeria, Uganda, Ethiopia, Mozambique, DRC. $1 invested in malaria = $40 return in economic growth, human development Malaria ends with us! #WorldMalariaDay

“It’s actually in the interest of American people to keep diseases down,” said Dr. Githinji Gitahi, who heads Amref Health Africa, a large nonprofit that relies on the United States for about 25 percent of its funding. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/h...

Instead of restoring access to The Associated Press newswire, as required by a federal judge, the Trump administration is removing the wire position in the daily press corps rotation altogether. The AP has just responded in a statement...
