O knihe
The issue of the safety of journalists has become topical the world over. Journalists and media workers around the world are increasingly being targeted, threatened, assaulted and even killed for performing their duties. This anti-press violence absolutely negates the freedom that journalists are supposed to enjoy as they carry out their functions, one of which is to uphold the responsibility and accountability of the government to the people. Drawing on some theoretical insights and citing examples from documented cases of threat of arrest, deaths, withdrawal of broadcast licenses, proscription and general impunity against journalists, this book examined freedom of expression and safety of journalists in the digital age. The book argues that journalists, because of the peculiar nature of their work, should be at liberty to gather, hold, express and disseminate information and opinions without official or unofficial restrictions. The book made recommendations on how journalists in the digital age can be provided with a safe and secured environment for practice.
