CPJ continues to demand Biden administration hold those responsible
for journalist killings to account
President Biden's recent Middle East trip was a key opportunity
for his administration to support the cause of press freedom. Before
and during the trip, CPJ repeatedly urged the administration not to
normalize journalist killings and to demand accountability for the
deaths of journalists Jamal Khashoggi and Shireen Abu Akleh. We spoke
with Senior Middle East and North Africa Researcher Justin Shilad to
learn more about the trip and how CPJ is addressing impunity in the
region. Learn more »

advocates and published the views of six who shared concerns about the
upcoming general elections, especially amid sexualized attacks on
female reporters.

"You're not metal, you're not a piece of iron, of course
you must be afraid," Judie Kaberia, executive director of a
women's media organization, told CPJ. "The ripple effect is that
the women shy away from reporting on politics."
CPJ asked Ruslan Smieshchuk, a reporter for the privately owned
Ukrainian TV channel Inter, to recount a single day of reporting when
he traveled to cover the bombing of a Ukrainian school.

"When you work in a war, you are constantly confronted with
naked human grief," Smieshchuk recounted in his diary,
"but you must preserve your ability to empathize with people,
your humanity, and at the same time, not burn out from the work, not
get traumatized."
CPJ also spoke with three Togolese journalists one year after news
broke about a list of over 50,000 phone numbers, including theirs,
which were allegedly selected for surveillance with Pegasus spyware.
The state of surveillance has made it increasingly difficult for
journalists to find sources who will speak to them.

"They have fear to speak with me," Komlanvi Ketohou said.
"Fear that what they say will be listened to by Togolese
authorities."
