Monday's Felixstowe Breakfast Briefing

By Derek Davis

2nd Nov 2020 | Local News

Did you know?

One journalist a year wins a Pulitzer Prize, while more than 100 are killed.

Today is International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, launched by the United Nations. n the past fourteen years (2006-2019), close to 1,200 journalists have been killed for reporting the news and bringing information to the public. In nine out of ten cases the killers go unpunished. Impunity leads to more killings and is often a symptom of worsening conflict and the breakdown of law and judicial systems.

These figures do not include the many more journalists, who on a daily basis suffer from non-fatal attacks, including torture, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detention, intimidation and harassment in both conflict and non-conflict situations. Furthermore, there are specific risks faced by women journalists, including sexual attacks. #TruthNeverDies
