Update-1 focuses on the rise in murders of journalists

The number of journalists killed on the job has been on the rise as reprisal murders more than doubled last year worldwide. In the latest edition of Update-1, the National Press Club podcast, Broadcast/Podcast Team member Tom Young talks to Club member Courtney Radsch, advocacy director for the Committee to Protect Journalists, about the most dangerous countries for journalists, and why 80% of the people responsible for their murders never face charges. Radsch also discusses the alarming rate at which journalists have been jailed in retaliation for their work.

Mike Hempen produces Update-1. Besides listening on the Club website, Update-1 can be found on Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Stitcher, TuneIn and Spotify by searching for “NPC Update-1.” Comments about any Update-1 podcast may be sent to [email protected].
