Is journalism under threat? Censorship, political pressure, intimidation, job
insecurity and attacks on the protection of journalists’ sources - how can
these threats be tackled?Journalism at Risk is a new book from the Council of
Europe, in which ten experts from different backgrounds examine the role of
journalism in democratic societies. Is journalism under threat? The image of
journalists, as helmeted war correspondents protected by bullet-proof vests
and armed only with cameras and microphones, springs to mind. Physical threats
are only the most visible dangers, however. Journalists and journalism itself
are facing other threats such as censorship, political and economic pressure,
intimidation, job insecurity and attacks on the protection of journalists’
sources. Social media and digital photography mean that anyone can now publish
information, which is also upsetting the ethics of journalism. How can these
threats be tackled? What is the role of the Council of Europe, the European
Court of Human Rights and national governments in protecting journalists and
freedom of expression? In this book, 10 experts from different backgrounds
analyse the situation from various angles. At a time when high-quality,
independent journalism is more necessary than ever – and yet when the
profession is facing many different challenges – they explore the issues
surrounding the role of journalism in democratic societies.
