Paola Celeste Torres knows all too well the dangers for journalists in Nicaragua. She was working in the Radio Dario building in the city of León in April 2018 when arsonists set fire to the station.
The attack, which destroyed the station’s equipment, took place during a period of unrest and mass protests against the government of Daniel Ortega that year.
“The flames did not destroy our voice, nor the freedom to express ourselves and continue to inform,” Torres told VOA. “But after that terrorist attack, we remained firm, with the desire to inform.”
No one was arrested for the attack, but the station’s director and journalists suspected supporters of Ortega.
There’s no doubt the pandemic has driven a surge in demand for trusted, high-quality and original journalism.
It’s one full year since the Covid-19 pandemic broke out, which has since claimed millions of victims and changed the way in which we live our lives forever. And while some of the immediate consequences of the pandemic have been starkly evident, others have remained less apparent – despite the severity of their consequences. The erosion of media freedom and the decline of independent journalism around the world are among them.
In a defining paradox of our time, Covid-19 has simultaneously driven an acute need for accurate information and a thirst for trusted news while dismantling the very ecosystem that supplies it.
