Great to see access to reliable info & journalists' safety in the draft #GlobalDigitalCompact. Media freedom is key for democracy, development & peace. Public interest information should be recognized as public good & media as key actor for a human rights-centric digital future.

I have just returned from #ARIJ23 in Jordan where I was privileged to listen first hand to Palestinian journalists describing their experiences covering the war. The grief, dread and despair - and sense of abandonment - is overwhelming. We must continue to stand with them.

#US: #CFWIJ & #WomenPressFreedom express deep concern over the arrest of @AlisaReznick while she was covering a pro-Palestine demonstration. It is part of a troubling trend against press freedom in the US. We demand the immediate dismissal of charges. ➡️ https://t.co/nPUf2syD4t

Should add a big thanks to @ICMPD for letting us reproduce the glossary from the handbook on migration reporting (and @TomLawMedia, the co-author with @oncegingerboy on that).
Today we unveil the short course we put together for the National Council for the Training of Journalists @NCTJ_news - Reporting on Migration. It's free, interesting, and sets out basics migration concepts journos need to understand this complex subject. https://t.co/CPUNDPXFgh
