Today marks World Press Freedom Day, and nearly a year since journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed. “This wasn’t errant gunfire – this was deliberate targeting” by Israeli forces, reporter @sharifkouddous tells me, and forms “part of a pattern of impunity.” https://t.co/feu97pfzFD

On World Press Freedom Day, we call for the immediate release of Julian Assange, who has spent 4 years in a maximum security prison. We cannot stand by and let governments silence those who seek to expose the truth. Today, let’s defend free & democratic journalism everywhere.

Today, on World Press Freedom Day, and every day, I'm thinking of my colleague @EvanGershkovich, who has been detained by Russia for five weeks now. He belongs in the newsroom, not jail. We will keep calling for his release until he's freed. #IStandWithEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime https://t.co/cjeUfwQCbx https://t.co/TAZX8eXEra
