IPI ORGANIZATION: KILLING OF JOURNALISTS DOWN IN 2019, BUT LEGAL HARASSMENT AND SMEAR CAMPAIGNS INCREASED
[Press Freedom\Independant Press Institute]
IPI Executive Director Barbara Trionfi: “2019 has seen a clear drop in the number of journalists killed to the lowest level in 20 years…We certainly welcome this development. However, we fear it may be a direct consequence of increased authoritarian tendencies in many countries, where alternative means of silencing the press, such as twisting the law to harass and jail critical journalists while smearing independent media, have been adopted.”
