@FUNDAMEDIOS The state of press freedom is on an exponential downward spiral in Latin America and Guatemala best exemplifies the crisis. #FreeZamora #JournalismIsNotACrime

Thank you @ashtoncirillo for standing up for press freedom. #JournalismIsNotACrime

I'm at the National Press Club with a message for Russia:

Free Evan Gershkovich.

[Margaret Sullivan @Sulliview]

I treasure this. Evan Gershkovich (second from right) with me, ⁦@Jonesieman⁩, ⁦@meghangourley⁩ & ⁦@joumana_khatib⁩ after my farewell dinner as NYT public editor. This fine ⁦@WSJ⁩ reporter, jailed in Russia for doing his job, must be freed. #istandwithevan

[Dion Nissenbaum @DionNissenbaum]

WSJ journalist @evangershkovich was detained one week ago in Russia while reporting fairly, accurately and compellingly about the war in Ukraine. The WSJ, US and world leaders are calling for his release. #JournalismIsNotACrime #IStandWithEvan

National Press Club leaders demand Moscow release detained WSJ journalist Evan Gershkovich amid fears Kremlin sees him as a potential hostage to extract concessions from Biden administration https://t.co/5s3sr6z3rB

[Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom]

In interrogations, “they told me that I published bad news, that I was making the Nicaraguan people unhappy... & that I only had to report when they published good news. Journalism does not publish bad and good news, I told them. Journalists publish news.”
