Every week, somewhere in the world, a journalist is killed.

Because their reporting uncovered a truth that someone wants hidden.

Most of the murders are never solved. That their killers go free matters - to all of us. Because investigations are abandoned, power and corruption goes unchallenged – and democracy is weakened.

 Killing the Truth explores the cases of four remarkable journalists who paid the ultimate price for their uncompromising pursuit of the truth.

 Killing the Truth is a podcast by openDemocracy in partnership with A Safer World for The Truth, and the series will launch the new podcast The openDemocracy Show. Visit opendemocracy.net to find out more.

Launching on 15 December.
