Without the access of citizens to trustworthy information, democracy would not be able to function. In many parts of the world, however, there is a growing pattern of intimidation aimed at silencing journalists. Featuring European Parliament member Isabel Wiseler-Lima along with Emmy-nominated news producer and journalist Cape Diamond, this episode delves into the essential work of journalists in promoting democratic values and human rights. Our guests also discuss the European Union’s role in protecting media workers around the world, including in Southeast Asia.
