Ending impunity for crimes against journalists

Threats evolve. Impunity endures. Ending impunity for crimes against journalists is one of the most important and complex challenges of recent times. It is an essential precondition to guarantee freedom of expression and access to information for all citizens. This year's observance focuses on how new technologies and weapons are transforming the threats journalists face, particularly in conflict zones. Yet while the methods used to target journalists are changing, those responsible for killing them continue to escape justice. The harms of impunity extend beyond the victims and their families. When attacks go unpunished, public-interest reporting can be suppressed, including investigations into corruption, human rights abuses and crime. In recent years, declining press freedom worldwide has exposed journalists to growing threats, including escalating attacks, judicial harassment through strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs), arbitrary detention, intimidation and killings, making independent journalism increasingly dangerous.

Californians vote on billionaire tax to replace federal cuts in healthcare funding • FRANCE 24

California could become the first US state to tax the net worth of billionaires Tuesday under a ballot measure that has divided liberal leaders nationally and triggered one of the most expensive ballot fights in state history as the ultra-rich scramble to figure out whether they would pay the tax or flee. Proposition 40 would impose a one-time 5% tax on the wealth of Californians whose net worth exceeds $1 billion, with most of the revenue dedicated to replacing federal funding cuts to healthcare. #California #tax #billionaires 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen

Midterms: Trump uses final appeal to talk about troubled Reflecting Pool • FRANCE 24 English

In his final major speech before midterm elections in which polls but the Democrats well ahead of the Republican Party, Donald Trump on Monday spent more than 20 minutes discussing pipes, joints and caulking as he touted his troubled renovations to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington.

CPJ: 'Attacks on journalists almost always precede attacks on other rights to broader population'

Annette Young is pleased to welcome Jodie Ginsberg, Chief Executive Officer of the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). The killing of journalists is not simply an assault on those who report the news, explains Ginsberg. It is an attack on the public's right to know, on institutional accountability and, ultimately, on the democratic foundations of society. As the global death toll among media workers continues to rise, a deeper crisis is emerging: the normalization of harassment, intimidation and violence against journalists and the persistent failure to hold perpetrators accountable. “If killers of journalists are allowed to literally get away with murder, that creates the conditions in which we see more and more of those attacks,” warns Ginsberg. #Journalism #CPJ #PressFreedom 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
