Journalists are being imprisoned and killed in record numbers.
Online surveillance is annihilating privacy, and the Internet can
be brought under government control at any time. Joel Simon, the
executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists, warns
that we can no longer assume that our global information ecosystem
is stable, protected, and robust. Journalists are increasingly
vulnerable to attack by authoritarian governments, militants,
criminals, and terrorists, who all seek to use technology,
political pressure, and violence to set the global information
agenda. Reporting from Pakistan, Russia, Turkey, Egypt, and Mexico,
among other hotspots, Simon finds journalists under threat from all
sides. The result is a growing crisis in information-a shortage of
the news we need to make sense of our globalized world and fight
human rights abuses, manage conflict, and promote accountability.
Drawing on his experience defending journalists on the front lines,
he calls on "global citizens," U.S. policy makers, international
law advocates, and human rights groups to create a global
freedom-of-expression agenda tied to trade, climate, and other
major negotiations. He proposes ten key priorities, including
combating the murder of journalists, ending censorship, and
developing a global free-expression charter to challenge the
criminal and corrupt forces that seek to manipulate the world's
news.
