Consequential election cycles are coming up in Brazil, the US, Israel, and India. Is it possible to cover them without playing into the hands of Trump, Bolsonaro, Netanyahu or Modi? YES >>>

'Undercover' is a fascinating history of Victorian investigative journalism, revealing the lengths journalists went to to expose awful conditions in homeless hostels, asylums and transatlantic steerage. My review here: scholarlypublishingcollective.org/psup/victori... @journalismatcity.bsky.social

Catching up on my notes from the UK Media Freedom Forum at @journalismatcity.bsky.social last week. This one was chilling - in multiple ways. @julieposetti.bsky.social presented some deeply concerning research about the links between online harassment of female #journalists and physical attacks.

My new piece in the conversation explains why water infrastructure is becoming a critical vulnerability in Iran and across the Persian Gulf 💧 @journalismatcity.bsky.social @uk.theconversation.com 🙏 #desalination #IranWar‌
theconversation.com
Iran and the Arabian Peninsula depend on desalination plants to survive – why water has become a target
Plants that convert seawater to drinking water are at the heart of major cities in the Gulf. But they are increasingly becoming military targets.

Last week I sat in on a panel discussion featuring experts on big tech, politics and misinformation, including @carolecadwalla.bsky.social of @thenerve.news and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social. It wasn’t a cheerful discussion. But it was a thoughtful and worrying one. Here’s my notes:

Defending Democracy: how does journalism play its part?
Democratic backsliding and the decline of journalism are connected. A panel at the Media Freedom Forum discussed how one can save the other.

“Facts are our superpower” said @jodieginsberg.bsky.social in the James Cameron Memorial Lecture at @journalismatcity.bsky.social. But it’s one that can preserve democracy – and that makes it a threat to those who want to undermine it. And that’s why we need to protect journalism. Read on:

Jodie Ginsberg: the urgent need to protect journalists
An attack on journalism is often the herald of an attack on democracy. In this year's James Cameron Memorial Lecture, Jodie Ginsberg sounded the alarm.

I wasn't sure there was anything to add when @uk.theconversation.com asked me to write a piece about the Jimmy Lai ruling. Then I came across a curious Ming Pao editorial that said the ruling made journalistic red lines clearer. Here's why it doesn't. theconversation.com/twenty-year-...
theconversation.com
Twenty-year sentence for Hong Kong media mogul Jimmy Lai is a further blow for journalists feeling the heat of Beijing’s crackdown on press freedom
Journalists are self-censoring and negotiating shifting ‘red lines’ to avoid falling foul of the territory’s draconian national security law.
