CPJ.2013.Annual.Report.Pdf ANNUAL REPORT 2013 CPJ.ORG COMMITTEETOPROTECTJOURNALISTS @PRESSFREEDOM COMMITTEE TO PROTECT JOURNALISTS ANNUAL REPORT 2013 | 1 ANNUAL REPORT 2013 THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A MORE DANGEROUS TIME FOR JOURNALISTS, WITH RECORD NUMBERS KILLED AND IMPRISONED AROUND THE WORLD. NEW TECHNOLOGIES ENABLE CENSORSHIP AND SURVEILLANCE ON AN UNPRECEDENTED SCALE—EVEN AS THEY EMPOWER EXPONENTIALLY MORE PEOPLE TO COMMIT ACTS OF JOURNALISM. Syria provides a stark example of the new challenges, with 52 journalists killed for their reporting on the conflict to date. Ninety percent of those journalists were locals, including large numbers of citizen journalists. More than 70 Syrian journalists have been forced into exile since the conflict began in 2011. In September, I joined an emergency meeting in Istanbul convened by CPJ to improve aid to Syrian journalists. Local journalists in Syria are literally serving as the eyes and ears of the world, yet feel largely abandoned by the international community. We are leading a joint initiative to support journalists at risk and share practical advice, including on security issues. We also confronted an evolving crisis in Turkey, the world’s leading jailer of journalists in 2012. This year, things got even worse as journalists covering anti- government protests became frequent targets of police abuse. Dozens of journalists were fired or forced to resign for their critical reporting. CPJ drew international attention to the crackdown and raised the political costs of repression. Our advocacy contributed to the release of at least 10 journalists this year. In October, CPJ issued its first-ever comprehensive report on the state of press freedom in the United States. The report examines the impact of the U.S. administration’s aggressive war on leaks and widespread surveillance. Leading journalists described to us a pervasive chilling effect on reporters and their sources. We are hearing from international colleagues about the far-reaching implications of these actions—especially for journalists working in closed societies who had looked to the U.S. as a model for upholding freedom of the press. We all have a stake in ensuring that freedom of expression is broadly defended and preserved, the world over. Thanks to all of you who have supported us over the years. We hope that many more of you will join us in the fight to defend brave journalists and keep the information space open for all. Sincerely, A photographer stands on a vehicle to capture a massive demonstration in Istanbul on June 8, as nationwide protests gather force. Unrest began in late May over plans to cut down trees in Istanbul’s Gezi Park, and eventually grew to include wider demands for freedom of assembly and freedom of expression.

  • Before the Murdoch Takeover: New Evidence Indicating the Need for a Further “Fit and Proper” Review
    Before the Murdoch takeover: new evidence indicating the need for a further “Fit and Proper” review AVAAZ, 8th March 2017. Submission for Karen Bradley, Secretary of State for Culture Media and Sport Introduction An acquisition of Sky Plc. by 21st Century Fox (21CF) would result in a major expansion of the influence of the Murdoch Family Trust (MFT) over Sky. In 2012 Ofcom was highly critical of the role of James Murdoch who was CEO and Chairman of News International during the period of criminal and other reprehensible conduct at that organisation. This submission details a long list of wrongdoings and criminal misgovernance that has emerged since Ofcom reviewed the licenses held by BSkyB in 2012. It also draws attention to an unfolding sexual harassment epidemic being unearthed at Fox News in the US. The Secretary of State notes in her 6th March 2017 letter1 to 21CF and Sky that 21CF’s record of compliance with the broadcasting code might reflect on the culture or corporate governance at 21CF. The “huge failings of corporate governance” at News Corporation, the precursor company to 21CF were noted in the Culture, Media and Sport Committee on News International and Phone Hacking and the Secretary of State herself acknowledges that James Murdoch’s actions during this time was a “failure of corporate governance.” The shocking scale of corporate misgovernance and criminal conduct make it incumbent upon the Secretary of State to exercise her powers under Section 58(3) of the Communications Act 2003, to refer the Sky bid on broader public interest grounds than those she currently says she is minded to exercise.

  • Murdoch and the Media Committee: a Political Battle
    Murdoch and the Media Committee: a political battle blogs.lse.ac.uk/polis/2012/05/01/murdoch-and-the-media-committee-a-political-battle/ 2012-5-1 The Media Select Committee report on its phone-hacking investigation is tougher than I expected and very pointed. It is difficult to see why anyone would think well of the Murdochs as media proprietors after reading it. Tom Watson’s typically determined bid to push his colleagues into agreeing the ‘not fit’ line may be more than a piece of rhetoric. It was clear more than 18 months ago that this whole issue was deeply political. That could be a good thing. It’s about time we had a proper political debate about media policy in this country and we certainly need new laws on regulation. It’s good to finally see MPs who previously cuddled up to the Murdochs now following in Watson’s wake with open criticism of Newscorp management failings. Yet, if it becomes too much of a Party weapon then the whole process of reform might actually be hampered. When it comes to media plurality, free expression and regulation we need a sustainable, consensus solution. Media is not like any other businesses, it has a social and constitutional role. The whole Leveson process along with various police and parliamentary inquiries has taken us to the brink of real evidence of wrong-doing by Rupert and James, yet it still falls on the side of ‘wilful ignorance’ and ‘lack of corporate governance’ rather than direct complicity. Those phrases are damning enough and should make any future formal ‘fit and proper’ test rather awkward for NewsCorp.

The problem had many different names and diagnoses. Some thought we were drowning in too much news; others feared we were in danger of becoming newsless.
