When Covid-19 Spreads Attacks on Press Freedom

Log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!



States and non-state actors are exploiting the emergency to turn the screws on press freedom - everything from denying access through misapplied fake news laws to arrests and charges. IPI has been tracking these violations and press freedom restrictions from the beginning and we’ll share our conclusions and observations on the trends we identified; we will talk about what the greatest risks are and what we need to do about it.
