Medios, transparencia, y libertad de prensa @ICFJ.
Opinions my own.

Journalists in Gaza, who have bravely documented for the world what’s happening on the ground, are among the many people in the conflict zone now facing the threat of starvation. The @AP and others say they “are desperately concerned for our journalists in Gaza, who are increasingly unable to feed themselves and their families.” This is deeply alarming.

ICFJ, along with dozens of media and media support organizations, urges Israel to allow adequate food supplies and other humanitarian aid into Gaza, and to lift restrictions on the movement of reporters in and out of the conflict zone.

News from @Code4Africa. It's an unusual move, but this one matters.

We’ve backed @Cloudflare’s ‘Independence Day’ campaign to block AI crawlers scraping content without consent.

It echoes our work on #RoboShield with @ICFJ, helping African publishers to protect their content.
