Dear Press Freedom Supporter,
I’m writing because I wanted to make sure you saw our
recent discussion on the detainment of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich.
Over the weekend, CPJ's President Jodie Ginsberg participated in a panel at the International Journalism Festival in Perugia, Italy alongside Wall Street Journal Editor-in-Chief Emma Tucker and other colleagues of Evan’s at the Journal.
The panel examined the broader context and implications of Gershkovich's detainment, as well as the growing trend of nations such as Russia and Iran using high-profile American detainees for diplomatic leverage.
To watch or share the panel discussion, you can visit this link.
At CPJ, we will continue to fight for Evan’s release as we stand with all journalists who should be free to report the news. As always, thank you for your support.
Best,
John D. Weis
Director of Development and Outreach
