Lucy Westcoff from the Committee to Protect Journalists joins us to talk about CPJ's statistics on journalists who are killed or injured while on the job and how dangerous the current climate has become. She discusses threats to female journalists, including online harassment and intimidation, and efforts to raise awareness about safety, especially after the murder of Kim Wall. We also talk about the case of Jamal Khashoggi, who was murdered with complete impunity. An eye-opening episode about another kind of frontline worker.3/10 Episodes on Journalism and JournalistsThe Committee to Protect Journalists' website:https://cpj.org/About Lucy Westcoff:https://cpj.org/about/staff.php#lucy-westcottFollow Lucy on Twitter:@lvzwestcottThoughts?
