Dear [Name of Candidate],


I am writing to ask you what you plan to do to defend the First Amendment, freedom of the press, and the fundamental rights of journalists to practice their profession freely in what has become an increasingly hostile environment for information and news providers.



The United States, which enshrines press freedom in the First Amendment of its Constitution, is currently witnessing a drastic decline in media freedom. On June 28, one of the most horrific attacks on press freedom in the United States occurred when five employees, including four reporters, were killed at the Capital Gazette newspaper in Annapolis, Maryland. According to the US Press Freedom Tracker, which comprehensively documents press freedom violations in the US committed by national, state, and local authorities as well as private individuals, 33 journalists were arrested, 43 were physically attacked, and 15 seizures of journalists’ equipment occurred in 2017. In one of these incidents, Rep. Greg Gianforte physically assaulted a Guardian journalist the night before his state’s election. While covering the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, journalists were impersonated on social media, impeding their ability to accurately investigate the facts and disseminate information which could be vital to preventing a similar tragedy. This hostility towards the press not only risks compromising the American public’s right to be informed through journalists’ reporting, but can also degrade the public’s trust in the media itself.



This is not a partisan issue; it is a fundamental right that impacts every American no matter their politics. Journalism is at the crux of our democracy, and communities everywhere rely on journalists to provide them with information that is essential to their daily decision-making processes. It was local investigative journalist Curt Guyette who broke the story about Flint, Michigan’s lack of access to clean water in 2014, prompting years of class-action lawsuits, protests, and subsequent federal assistance to the city in order to try to resolve the crisis. Reporters Megan Twohey, Jodi Kantor, and Ronan Farrow publicized sexual assault allegations against influential Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein in 2017, leading to the ubiquitous and powerful #MeToo movement which brought decades of sexual abuse and harassment across multiple industries to light.



Yet freedom of the press in the US is currently in dire need of congressional support. It is our civic duty as one of the world’s leading democracies to uphold principles that support and protect the rights of journalists so that they may hold those in power accountable and ensure an informed and engaged community.



If you are elected, what do you plan to do to protect this utterly essential component of our democracy? What are your plans to protect the public’s right to be informed through a free and independent press?


Sincerely,
[Your name]

Hello, my name is _______ and I am from [city, state].

I’m calling to let you know that [candidate/representative]'s stance on freedom of the press is extremely important in my decision to vote. I feel that this is not a partisan issue, but a fundamental right that impacts every American no matter their politics.

I have become increasingly concerned with the growing climate of hostility for journalists in this country, and I would like for [candidate/representative] to publicly address what they will do to defend press freedom if [he/she] is elected.

Thank you.

Journalists play a crucial role in our democracy by keeping us informed and holding those in power accountable. And yet in the US, attacks on journalists are becoming more common, undermining the media's role and creating opportunities for government overreach, the erosion of press freedom, and impeding our right to be informed. I’m contacting my candidates and encouraging them to defend press freedom during their midterm election campaign. Join me at DefendPressFreedom.com

I’m contacting my candidates and encouraging them to defend press freedom during their midterm election campaign. You should too. Read more at DefendPressFreedom.com


Press freedom is declining in the US at an alarming rate. Physical, verbal, and online attacks against journalists have increased drastically in the last two years. As the US midterm elections approach, we must remind our congressional candidates that journalists play a crucial role in our democracy by keeping us informed and holding those in power accountable. I’m contacting my representatives and encouraging them to defend press freedom during their midterm election campaign. Join in and help me spread the word at DefendPressFreedom.com

    MODO DE PREDAÇÃO: totalmente desinibido



    Quando Xi Jinping, cuja família foi vítima da Revolução Cultural, chegou ao poder na China em 2013, era de se esperar que ele implementasse reformas liberais. Pelo contrário, fortaleceu o controle do regime sobre a informação, restaurando em poucos anos uma cultura midiática digna da era maoísta. Contando com o uso massivo de novas tecnologias, Xi Jinping impôs um modelo social baseado na censura, na propaganda e na vigilância. A Administração do Ciberespaço da China (CAC), órgão supervisionado pelo próprio Xi Jinping, impede que bilhões de usuários de Internet chineses recebam e comuniquem informações independentes livremente. A mídia estatal não deve apenas obedecer ao Partido, mas também "refletir sua vontade, proteger sua autoridade e sua unidade". O aplicativo para smartphone “Estudar Xi para fazer o país mais forte”, obrigatório para todos os jornalistas desde 2019, além de permitir que o regime teste sua lealdade, também é suspeito de acessar os dados dos telefones dos usuários. Sob Xi Jinping, a perseguição aos correspondentes estrangeiros e suas fontes atingiu novos recordes, enquanto no exterior o regime tenta, por todos os meios, promover e exportar seu modelo opressor.  


    ALVOS PREFERIDOS: qualquer coisa que não esteja na linha



    A China de Xi Jinping é a maior prisão do mundo para defensores da liberdade de imprensa, com mais de 115 pessoas detidas em 2021, em condições temerárias para suas vidas. O sistema de “prisão domiciliar em local designado” (RSLD), um eufemismo para confinamento solitário nas “prisões negras” chinesas, onde os detidos são privados de seus direitos e correm o risco de tortura, é comumente usado para silenciar jornalistas que não seguem a narrativa oficial. Kunchok Jinpa, importante fonte de informações sobre o Tibete, morreu em fevereiro de 2021 em consequência dos maus tratos na prisão, assim como o ganhador do Prêmio Nobel da Paz e do Prêmio Liberdade de Imprensa da RSF, Liu Xiaobo, e o comentarista político Yang Tongyan, em 2017.


    DISCURSO OFICIAL: doutrinação paternalista

“Os meios de comunicação do Partido e do governo são instrumentos de propaganda que devem ter o Partido como sobrenome" (Discurso de Xi Jinping em 19 de fevereiro de 2016, durante uma visita de inspeção da mídia estatal).

“Os jornalistas devem amar o Partido, proteger o Partido e seguir fielmente a liderança do Partido em pensamento, na política e em suas ações" (Sobre os jornalistas da CCTV, da agência Xinhua e do Diário do Povo, fevereiro de 2016).
