New NPC Press Freedom chair highlights threats globally
Syria, Mexico, China and Russia are just a few of the countries where press freedom is already severely curtailed or under increasing threat, according to new National Press Club press freedom chair Rachel Oswald, a reporter at CQ Roll Call.
In the latest edition of Update-1, the Club's podcast, Oswald discusses the myriad challenges to a free press and related democratic institutions.
In her conversation with Broadcast/Podcast Committee co-vice chair Adam Konowe, she also highlights potential legal challenges to the landmark Supreme Court case of New York Times v. Sullivan, especially in light of a more conservative high court.
