Having trusted journalism is vital to helping us make sense of what is happening in our world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYet, the future of journalism, and press freedom which underpins it, is threatened on a number of fronts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToday, Reporters without Borders have published their annual World Press Freedom Index, showing yet again a distressing picture of the threats and abuses journalists are subject to all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSince January, five journalists have been killed and over 500 are in prison globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe cannot allow journalists to be seized with impunity. The recent detention of reporter Evan Gershkovich on charges of espionage is another serious example of the threat to press freedom that we face. The Wall Street Journal has rightly chastised this attack on a free press, and we&nbsp;join calls on the Russian government to release Evan immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen journalists are targeted, we must remember that it is our democracy that pays the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis time the Index has also revealed that the UK has worryingly dropped two places down to 26<sup>th<\/sup> place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd it is not hard to reason why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor too long Section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act has hung over the news media industry like a sword of Damocles. It is a clause which would force news brands who have not signed up to state-backed regulation &#8211; to pay for all legal costs in libel and privacy cases even if they win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is not legislation designed to support a democratic society but to punish news publishers for their hard-fought, dedicated journalism that often shines a spotlight on corruption and wrongdoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThankfully, the Draft Media Bill, published last month, seeks to repeal this pernicious clause and for the sake of press freedom in this country, it is vital it succeeds. Each day it remains on the statute book is another opportunity to censor free speech and investigative journalism. We cannot let that happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnother ongoing scourge to a free press are SLAPP (strategic litigation against public participation) cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLitigation bent on muzzling journalists, used by wealthy individuals and corporations intending to intimidate, silence, and even harass, their critics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSLAPP cases become a tool for free rein to curb public interest journalism and legitimate scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese damaging practices are an unforgiveable misuse of our limited public resources of the courts and a serious abuse of our legal system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe recent case, reported in the Times last week, of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.co.uk\/article\/marie-curie-charity-volunteer-bullying-complaint-2023-s0bdjmk5g\">the charity Marie Curie allegedly threatening a volunteer with court action if they spoke to the press about its handling of bullying allegations<\/a>, is a stark reminder that these abuses will not go away without government intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe NMA has repeatedly called for an end to such practices to protect press freedom in the UK. Regrettably, a timeline for introducing anti-SLAPP protections has yet to be revealed. We urge the government to publish this without delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd last November we saw the extremely troubling episode with <a href=\"https:\/\/pressgazette.co.uk\/news\/three-journalists-locked-up-for-covering-m25-protests-police-force-says-the-arrests-were-justified\/\">journalists being arrested<\/a>, simply for doing their job, reporting on Just Stop Oil protests on the M25. Such action should never have been taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese measures will help to protect UK journalism for years to come. Without a free press, we would have no voice in our society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWithout it, we would not have known about the Cambridge Analytica scandal, revealed by the Guardian in 2018, or the powerful exclusive from the Manchester Evening News last year, revealing the appalling living conditions found at the Rochdale Freehold Estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is why measures such as safeguarding the news publisher exemption clause in the Online Safety Bill and empowering the Digital Markets Unit &#8211; which seeks to encourage innovation and level the playing field between the tech giants and news publishers \u2013 are so important. These measures are fundamental to the survival of journalism and will allow journalists to continue to probe, investigate and report on matters of public interest. Without a financially sustainable media, there is no press freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOver 50 years ago, George Orwell, wrote: \u201cFreedom of the press, if it means anything at all, means the freedom to criticise and oppose.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOn the 30th anniversary of World Press Freedom Day today, this statement means more to our democracy than ever. Let us not forget the power of journalism and what we must do to protect it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We must act now to curb press freedom abuses News Media Association chief executive Owen Meredith has said in&nbsp;an article for Press Gazette today. \u201cOn World Press Freedom Day today, we should all celebrate the very best of UK journalism \u2013from the Telegraph\u2019s expos\u00e9 of \u2018The Lockdown Files\u2019, to the Newcastle Chronicle\u2019s powerful campaign &#8216;Stop [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3815,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-pressfreedom","news","pressfreedom"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
