The second main red-tagging attack against me was in June 2022 when I interviewed Secretary Jesus Crispin Boying Remulla, who was incoming justice secretary of the Marcos government at the time. I have been covering human rights since 2017, but it was during my coverage of the Marcos campaign that I was red-tagged twice in major forms (minor forms in Twitter notifications came after). It could also be that I became a director of the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines from 2020-2024, or so what some tell me. I write about this experience, and the red-tagging study we recently published, for the International Federation of Journalists in this blog: https://lnkd.in/efk-cYqu

⚫ #Pakistan: Seven reporters have been killed in Pakistan in the first six months of 2024, a record annual number with half a year still to go. 📣 “Journalists and media workers have a constitutional right to freedom of expression, however this is undermined by targeted attacks, assaults, and killings. Authorities must ensure that the media is free to work without fear of retribution and ensure that these killings are subject to an immediate, thorough, and transparent investigation,” said #IFJ General Secretary Anthony Bellanger. Crimes against journalists must not go unpunished. #EndImpunity International Federation of Journalists Asia-Pacific https://lnkd.in/gEnZXyRc

#Russia’s Foreign Ministry announced that it is banning 81 media outlets from European Union countries from broadcasting in the country, including DER SPIEGEL (Germany), AFP, Le Monde (France), El Mundo, El Pais (Spain), Rai - Radiotelevisione Italiana (Italy), POLITICO Europe and EUobserver.  📣 Together with the European Federation of Journalists, we strongly condemn these restrictions, which prevent Russian citizens from freely accessing information from EU media outlets, thereby breaching the public’s right to know. #mediafreedom #journalism

"You look much younger than your age! " 💡 Every day we make microagressions and we are unaware of the impact they may have on others and how these comments contribute to reinforcing #stereotypes. These comments which we may find harmless can lead to a "minority stress" (high level of stress faced by those in maginalised groups). "We have been raised in a society that reinforces prejudices and stereotypes and we must deconstruct them" . Thanks for refreshing our reporting habits today at the #webinar on #diversity and #inclusion Gabe Silvan Negro! You can't be what you can't see. 👉 More about the project: https://shorturl.at/TgCsp COPEAM Monia Azzalini Sonia Rio Gabriella Crafa International Federation of Journalists Elena Chiaberge
