Exerciţiul jurnalistic, „principalul vaccin” împotriva dezinformării în plină pandemie, este „total sau parţial blocat” în mai mult de 130 de ţări, avertizează Reporteri fără Frontiere (RSF), în clasamentul mondial al libertăţii presei, ediția din 2021, citat de France Presse şi DPA.
73% din cele 180 de ţări evaluate de ONG-ul cu sediul la Paris se caracterizează prin situaţii considerate „foarte grave”, „dificile” sau „problematice” pentru jurnalişti şi sunt reprezentate în negru, roşu sau portocaliu pe o hartă a lumii privind libertatea presei. Doar 12 ţări din 180, adică 7% faţă de 8% anul trecut, arată o „situaţie bună”.
HOMELESSNESS POLITICS On March 24, hundreds of police officers swept Los Angeles’ Echo Park Lake of its unhoused encampments after City Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell directed the park’s closure.
The move crushed a community one leader compared to the utopian socialist Llano Del Rio settlement; police arrested 182 protesters over two nights of demonstrations and arrested or detained at least 20 journalists, according to the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker.
A year ago, the Centers for Disease Control warned that encampment sweeps could potentially increase spread of the coronavirus by dispersing people throughout the community and disrupting connections with service providers. Los Angeles accordingly cut back on such actions, outraging Angelenos who were demanding sweeps in their own neighborhoods.

BROOKLYN
CENTER: Several journalists said Saturday that police wrongly impeded their work while covering a protest in a Minneapolis suburb over the death of Daunte Wright, a young Black man killed by a white policewoman.
The Friday night protest came only hours after a federal judge issued a restraining order against police making clear the journalists’ right to report without interference.
