Comme dénoncé dans notre rapport publié hier avec le @mediafreedomeu.bsky.social et le soutien de @rsf.org, les attaques visant Mediapart font écho à nos préoccupations concernant le traitement dangereux réservé à la presse, qui affecte non seulement les médias mais le droit à l'information de tous.

#Malta: Businessman Yorgen Fenech, who was charged with masterminding the killing of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia in 2017, has been acquitted. The denial of justice for Daphne nearly a decade later is not only outrageous, it is devastating. We stand in full support of Daphne's loved ones.

"There is a tendency to blame employers, the media industry. But journalists are also part of the problem. Our vocational passion makes solving the issue more difficult," Emma Thomasson added. According to her, it all starts with the (wrong!) idea that journalists should behave like superheroes.
