Journalists under pressureUnwarranted interference, fear and self-censorship in Europe. E-book. Formato EPUB Marilyn Clark - Council Of Europe, 2017 -
Freedom of expression is one of the basic conditions for the progress of society. Without safeguards for the safety of journalists there can be no free media.Journalists are under threat in Europe. Different forms of violence against journalists have increased significantly over the last decade: from physical attacks, to intimidation and harassment, targeted surveillance and cyberbullying, we now see a range of tactics deployed to silence critical voices and free speech. Together with impunity for the perpetrators of unwarranted interference on journalists, these are among the most serious challenges facing media freedom today. Self-censorship is hardly surprising in such circumstances.This study, conducted among almost 1 000 journalists and other news providers in the 47 Council of Europe member states and Belarus, sheds new light on how these issues impact on journalists’ behaviour. The results of the study provide quantitative evidence on such unwarranted interference, fear and how this relates to consequent self-censorship. These striking results confirm the urgent need for member states to fully implement Recommendation CM/Rec(2016)4 on the protection of journalism and safety of journalists and other media actors, and represent an essential and reliable tool for strategic planning in this field to guarantee freedom of expression.
Informare, una missioneLa voce dei giornalisti in pericolo. E-book. Formato EPUB Marilyn Clark - Infinito Edizioni, 2022 -
In un mondo in cui l’informazione è la chiave di volta per comprendere l’attualità e il terreno in cui si combattono parte delle guerre che colpiscono il nostro pianeta, dare voce ai giornalisti è non solo necessario ma fondamentale per ridefinire il concetto di libertà.La violenza e gli atti intimidatori contro i giornalisti diventano sempre più frequenti. Attraverso interviste a venti giornalisti di diciotto Paesi (inclusa l’Italia), questo libro accende i riflettori su quelle forme di interferenza con la libertà di stampa a cui i professionisti del settore sono sottoposti e le strategie che questi ultimi impiegano per compiere la loro “missione di informare”.Informare, una missione non è un semplice libro ma uno studio articolato e insieme una presa di coscienza e un appello ai 46 Stati membri del Consiglio d’Europa ad agire con misure efficaci per proteggere la sicurezza dei giornalisti a rischio, perseguire gli autori degli attacchi e, attraverso buone pratiche, creare ambienti realmente favorevoli a media liberi, indipendenti e diversi.
A mission to informJournalists at risk speak out. E-book. Formato EPUB Marilyn Clark - Council Of Europe, 2020 -
Police intimidation, legal harassment, defamation and intimidation campaigns offline and increasingly online, pressure - economic or otherwise - from editors or media owners and sponsors, detentions, threats and physical violence: journalists are constantly exposed to these threats by those who feel threatened by their work.The murder of investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia in October 2017 sent shock waves through Europe. Violence and acts of harassment against journalists have become alarmingly frequent, as was laid bare in the Council of Europe’s 2017 survey of 940 journalists across the continent.This follow-up study is about the human cost to journalists who seek to hold the powerful to account. It is based on in-depth interviews with 20 journalists who use their reporting skills to expose corruption, injustice and abuses, often putting their safety at risk. They share their insights into the realities of practising cutting-edge journalism while facing aggression, intimidation and vicious cyber-attacks. Too often the necessary protections fail and crimes against journalists go unpunished. The freedom of the media to report without censorship or fear of reprisals is an essential pre-condition of democratic societies. This study represents a call for action to the 47 member states of the Council of Europe, with practical and forward-looking recommendations for ways to establish effective protection for journalists to enable them to safely fulfil their vital public watchdog role.
