Current Update-1: Interview with NPC Press Freedom Team chair on World Press Freedom Day

The current episode of the National Press Club's podcast, Update-1, highlights the cases of three journalists struggling for freedom -- Austin Tice, Maria Ressa and Emilio Gutierrez-Soto -- who are the focus of the Club's virtual event in observance of World Press Freedom Day today.

In the podcast, the Club's Press Freedom Team chair John Donnelly speaks withBroadcast/Podcast Team co-vice chair Adam Konowe about today's event and the plight of these and other journalists.

 

He also addresses the state of press freedom more broadly, including specific incidents at home and abroad that demonstrate the danger posed not merely to journalists, but to truth and civic society at large.
