Why Journalists Face Greater Harm in An Age of Abundant and Accessible Media
(PBS)
TRANSCRIPT:
JUDY WOODRUFF: The attacks in Paris were focused on a very different kind of newspaper, as we just heard.
But, every day, traditional journalists are facing real dangers and threats. In fact, the past three years have seen the highest number of journalists killed or imprisoned in recent times.
Jeffrey Brown has our look.
JEFFREY BROWN: On the one hand, information is everywhere and more people around the world have access to it. On the other, for journalists, those who have traditionally gathered and disseminated so much of that information, the times are more dangerous than ever.
JOEL SIMON, Committee to Protect Journalists: Absolutely. That’s the paradox. We live in an age defined by information. And yet the people who bring us this information are dying, being imprisoned, being killed in record numbers. If you look at the data, it is shocking, but press freedom, freedom of expression is actually in decline around the world.
