Grateful to the many members of the House of Lords who contributed to this afternoon’s debate on the safety of journalists. It matters—#pressfreedom is your freedom. It ensures accountability & enables justice. It’s on the slide globally. And we need to act. #protectjournalists

Ahead of World #PressFreedom Day at the weekend, we’ve a new look—and new website—from today. Designed to be easier to access on mobile & in the field, whether you want to help us or need us to help you. Take a look—thanks to team at Ally. #wpfd25 rorypecktrust.org

Grateful to Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs Norway in the UK Denmark in UK & Representation of the Faroe Islands in London for hosting first of Rory Peck Trust’s #WPFD25 events this week—and to Meera Selva, Lindsey Hilsum & Prashant Rao for sharing their thoughts on global state of #pressfreedom. Spoiler alert: it’s not great.

On eve of #WPFD25, #pressfreedom globally now at unprecedented low as it plunges into “difficult” zone according to RSF in English. UK climbed into top 20, USA doesn’t even make top 50!

On #WorldPressFreedomDay, cannot be business-as-usual. Those who believe in #pressfreedom need to act. Freedom depends on those brave enough to tell the truth. But it also depends on all of us being brave enough to stand with them when they do. #WPFD25 open.substack.com/pub/jonrpt/p/o…

We’re trying to do something to improve the climate for #pressfreedom- in UK and around the world. You can too… #WPFD25 rorypecktrust.org/news-and-insig…

Hard at work on a Saturday night reviewing the first editions of the Sunday papers for #WorldPressFreedomDay Sky News. Join Dorothy Byrne and me at 10.30pm and then again at 11.30pm.

"We know the enemies of media freedom are creative... We've got to get far more creative too. They operate cross-border, we've got to operate cross-border too." Caoilfhionn Gallagher KC [email protected] The Insider Mark Stephens #SirHarrySummit

Another incredible #SirHarrySummit— thank you Tina Brown. The challenge from our friend & fellow Committee to Protect Journalists board member Caoilfhionn Gallagher KC sums the day up best: “we know the enemies of media freedom are creative... we’ve got to get far more creative too”. #pressfreedom

Martin Bell on the BBC WS: “The truth is its currency…. once we have relinquished it, we shall never get it back.” #pressfreedom #journalismmatters theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

129 news organisations & NGOs call for immediate, independent & unrestricted access to #Gaza for international journalists. Open letter signed by BBC, ITN & Rory Peck says the blockade is “an attack” on #pressfreedom: “at this pivotal moment, vital #Israel opens Gaza’s borders”

The best ambassadors for what we do are those who’ve been there… Great to see Joshua Baker and Jen Stout staring in new campaign Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office. If we are to #DefendMediaFreedom, we need to take action. Because #journalismmatters.
