Press Freedom Under Threat in Europe: Reports
TL;DR
The Committee to Protect Journalists has warned that attempts to silence journalists have increased in Europe, with more than 10 journalists killed in Ukraine last year and many in Russia targeted by wartime censorship laws. The European Union has initiated laws to support media freedom, but progress in finding sustainable solutions to combat threats against journalists within the bloc has been slow. The CPJ called on the EU to improve its role as a global leader in defending press freedom, protect refugee journalists, and take more initiative in protecting press freedom outside Europe.
