Key Findings: A) Freedom of the media has been deteriorating around the world over the past decade. B) In some of the most influential democracies in the world, populist leaders have overseen concerted attempts to throttle the independence of the media sector. C) While the threats to global media freedom are real and concerning in their own right, their impact on the state of democracy is what makes them truly dangerous. D) Experience has shown, however, that press freedom can rebound from even lengthy stints of repression when given the opportunity. The basic desire for democratic liberties, including access to honest and fact-based journalism, can never be extinguished.

Comparing the French
and American ecosystems Link Institu Montaigne 2019 In this study, we analyze both mainstream and social media coverage of the 2016 United States presidential election. We document that the majority of mainstream media coverage was negative for both candidates, but largely followed Donald Trump’s agenda: when reporting on Hillary Clinton, coverage primarily focused on the various scandals related to the Clinton Foundation and emails. When focused on Trump, major substantive issues, primarily immigration, were prominent. Indeed, immigration emerged as a central issue in the campaign and served as a defining issue for the Trump campaign. Link Harvard Library 2017 Robert M.

The world is increasingly more dangerous for the press. To stay safe, journalists and their editors need appropriate training, equipment, and other resources, such as insurance and access to psychosocial support services, as well as timely, accessible information. CPJ's four-part Safety Kit provides journalists and newsrooms with basic safety information on physical, digital and psychological safety resources and tools. Link Committee to protect journalists 2019 In the present report, the Special Rapporteur identifies the problem of targeted surveillance seen from the obligations that human rights law imposes on States and companies. He then proposes a legal and policy framework for regulation, accountability and transparency within the private surveillance industry. He concludes with a call for tighter regulation of surveillance exports and restrictions on their use, as well as a call for an immediate moratorium on the global sale and transfer of the tools of the private surveillance industry until rigorous human rights safeguards are put in place to regulate such practices and guarantee that Governments and non-State actors use the tools in legitimate ways.
