#January6 marks the third anniversary of the violent #assault on the U.S. #Capitol, where rioters attempting to stop a valid #election attacked #journalists and scrawled “Murder the #Media” on the Capitol doors.

Journalists played a critical role in keeping the world informed that day, and paid a price.

Looking towards another general election in the U.S., we reflect on what the 2021 attack meant for #pressfreedom:

At least 35 journalists and media workers, including 30 Palestinians, 4 Israelis and 1 Lebanese have been killed whilst reporting on the recent Israel-Gaza conflict since October 7th, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

#elonmusk is a noxious troll and conspiracist. And suspending journalists from #twitter is a thin-skinned whiny power play. But let’s have a bit of perspective. Only yesterday, the #CommitteeToProtectJournalists reported that 363 journalists were imprisoned worldwide as of Dec. 1, 2022. That’s real silencing.

Today, from #CommitteeToProtectJournalists: The number of journalists jailed around the world set yet another record in 2022. In a year marked by conflict and repression, authoritarian leaders doubled down on their criminalization of independent reporting, deploying increasing cruelty to stifle dissenting voices and undermine press freedom. 363 journalists were imprisoned worldwide in 2022. The worst jailers are Iran, China, Myanmar and Turkey. Full report:
