Elaine and I worked on the same team and we survived the gruesome Beijing Winter Olympics ‘bubble’ together. She’s a talented, resourceful reporter and a beautiful writer. Hire her.

It’s been a year since WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich was seized by Russia’s security services and falsely accused of espionage. It’s time for this talented journalist and innocent man to come home. My letter on this grim anniversary

Evan is a gifted American journalist who is being held hostage in Russia for doing his job. It’s been nearly a year. This nightmare needs to end. Free Evan now. #IStandWithEvan

[Gráinne McCarthy @grainnemcc]

300 days of not seeing the sea. 300 days of not being with his family. 300 days of not seeing his friends. 300 days of not writing stories⁩. It’s been 300 days too long. Free Evan now. #IStandWithEvan

It’s Saturday, January 13, 2024.

WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich was detained by the Russian FSB on March 29, 2023.

290 days ago.

His “crime” was practicing journalism in Russia.

Release him and Paul Whelan TODAY!

Our WSJ colleague Evan Gershkovich is @poynter media person of 2023 for “shining a light on the truth.” He needs to be home and back at work. Now. #IStandWithEvan https://t.co/AFu9SebpLB

[Gráinne McCarthy @grainnemcc]

In 250 days of headlines "Evan Gershkovich Released" isn't one of them. Evan was wrongfully detained by Russia for doing his job. He should be freed immediately. #IStandWithEvan #FreeEvan
