Filipino American journalist Ya'akub Vijandre was allegedly targeted by the FBI in retaliation for his refusal to become an informant. The FBI reviewed Vijandre’s immigration record and social media posts, and then recommended that immigration services terminate his DACA status, according to Vijandre’s attorneys. Vijandre is currently detained at a for-profit ICE detention center in Folkston, Georgia, operated by GEO Group. He was arrested “at gunpoint” outside his home in Arlington, Texas, on October 7, 2025. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) pointed to his reporting on pro-Palestinian protests and various cases in the “global war on terrorism” to justify their actions.

Breaking Out Of Media Group-Think

November 22, 2025 Jonathan Cook, Consortium News. Educate! Censorship, Israel, Journalism, Journalists, Media, Palestine

The past two years have seen a catastrophic failure by Western journalists to report properly what amounts to an undoubted genocide in Gaza. This has been a low point even by the dismal standards set by our profession, and further reason why audiences continue to distrust us in ever greater numbers. There is a comforting argument — comforting especially for those journalists who have failed so scandalously during this period — that seeks to explain, and excuse, this failure. Israel’s exclusion of Western reporters, so the claim goes, has made it impossible to determine exactly what is occurring on the ground in Gaza.

Over 150 New York Times Contributors To Boycott Paper Over Gaza Coverage

More than 150 New York Times contributors have signed a pledge not to write for the US newspaper's opinion section, citing its “biased coverage” of the Israel-Palestine conflict and war on Gaza. “Until The New York Times takes accountability for its biased coverage and commits to truthfully and ethically reporting on the US-Israeli war on Gaza, any putative 'challenge' to the newsroom or the editorial board in the form of a first-person essay is, in effect, permission to continue this malpractice,” the signatories to the letter wrote. “Only by withholding our labor can we mount an effective challenge to the hegemonic authority that the Times has long used to launder the US and Israel’s lies,” the writers added.

The Privatization Crisis At Canada Post

October 14, 2025 André Frappier, Canadian Dimension. Strategize! Canada, Journalism, Postal Service, Privatization

In 2001, Canada Post invested $1 million to acquire a 50 percent ownership stake in Intelcom, then operating as Intelcom Express, a package delivery company. The purchase quickly stirred controversy because of Intelcom’s connections to the Liberal Party of Canada, prompting critics to question whether the Crown corporation’s decision-making had been influenced by political favouritism. In response, Intelcom bought back its shares from Canada Post six years later, in 2007. At the time, Intelcom was a major Liberal donor. Its founder and CEO, Daniel Hudon, was both a fundraiser and a former member of the finance committee of the Québec wing of the Liberal Party.

Media Outlets Ask Trump Not To ‘Edit’ Press Visas

A hundred media outlets and journalists’ associations have signed a statement asking the US government to withdraw its previously announced plans to shorten the duration of visas for foreign journalists to less than one year. “The proposal to limit visas to 240 days would disrupt a proven system, create instability for correspondents and their families, and reduce the quantity and quality of coverage from the United States,” the statement said. According to the signatories, the current visas, which allow stays of up to five years, “have for decades ensured that international journalists can accurately report on live and breaking news in the United States.”

A United States court concluded that border patrol and other federal agents “unleashed crowd control weapons indiscriminately and with surprising savagery,” targeting journalists who were covering protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Los Angeles. U.S. District Judge Hernán Vera issued an injunction against federal agents to prevent them from “dispersing, threatening, or assaulting any person whom they know or reasonably should know” is a journalist. (Vera extended the injunction to cover legal observers, too.) On June 18, 2025, three journalists—Sean Beckner-Carmitchel, Ryanne Mena, and Lexis Olivier-Ray of L.A. Taco—sued the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.

The Chris Hedges Report: Reporting On War

August 29, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. Resistance Report Chris Hedges, Journalism, PTSD, Wars and Militarism

It is rare to find war correspondents who are willing to break the rules of access and safety imposed by dominant powers. Only by challenging these structures and facing the dangers of war can journalists begin a true effort to report the truth and, if they are lucky, materially alter the course of conflict. Journalist, author and documentary filmmaker Ben Anderson joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to detail what it means to be a reporter who is committed to chasing and documenting the truth in a media landscape that often chooses complacency. Anderson chronicles his motivations and influences, such as the late John Pilger, early on in his career.

The Attack On Palestine Chronicle

August 29, 2025 Mohamed El Mokhtar, Consortium News. Educate! Journalism, Lawfare, Media, Palestine, Press Freedom, State Repression

The Palestine Chronicle is not a militant organization. It is a modest, independent publication, sustained by small donations and animated by a singular mission: to bear witness. It tells the untold stories of Palestine, documenting dispossession, resistance and the endurance of a people condemned to silence. In a media landscape dominated by powerful conglomerates repeating the language of governments, the Chronicle insists on a journalism of proximity — grounded in daily lives, in the rubble of Gaza, in voices otherwise erased. Its true offense, in the eyes of its detractors, is not invention but truth. At the heart of this endeavor stands Ramzy Baroud. His career is the antithesis of clandestine.

On Sunday, August 10, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a dramatic announcement: After 674 days of barring foreign media from Gaza, Israel was planning to begin staging guided tours, under Israeli military control, for embedded members of the foreign press. “We have decided, and have ordered, directed the military, to bring in foreign journalists—more foreign journalists, a lot,” said Israel’s premier, in a rambling, paranoid half-hour press conference—staged, he said, to dispel “the global campaign of lies” against Israel. “There’s a problem with assuring security, but I think it can be done in a way that is responsible and careful to preserve your own safety.

August 24, 2025 Kevin Gosztola, The Dissenter. Resist! Detention, Georgia, ICE, Journalism, Press Freedom

The American Civil Liberties Union filed a habeas petition that demands the immediate release of Mario Guevara, a Spanish-language journalist who United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has detained for two months. According to the petition, Guevara is in solitary confinement at the Folkston ICE Detention Center in Georgia. He is held in a “tiny cell 22 hours a day.” “He only gets two hours a day outside the cell, during which time he is taken to another bigger cell that looks like a dog crate where he can see the sky and breathe fresh air. He has lost approximately 20 pounds during his time in detention. He is experiencing panic attacks, nightmares, and difficulty sleeping,” the petition further describes.

Julian Assange, a founder of Wikileaks, endured nearly 15 years of persecution for daring to provide an information platform that opened access to leaked documents exposing the rich and powerful. One year after Assange's release from Belmarsh Prison, his brother, Gabriel Shipton, launched The Information Rights Project to share the lessons he and his family learned as they mounted a global movement in defense of Assange. Clearing the FOG speaks with Shipton about what Assange endured, why information access is a critical right, and what people around the world can do to protect this right as attacks on those who speak out and report the truth grow.

The invitation extended to Black Agenda Report to participate in the 2025 Belt and Road Journalists Forum , held in the cities of Nanchang, Jingdezhen, and Ganzhou in Jiangxi province China, was a testament to our 19 year history of providing “news, commentary, and analysis from a Black left perspective.“ Our work is appreciated nationally and internationally, and this columnist attended the Forum along with 100 media representatives from around the world.

The Palestine Action Ban Has Had A Chilling Effect On The Press

July 22, 2025 Charlotte England, Novara Media. Educate! Journalism, Palestine Action, Terrorism Act, United Kingdom (UK)

On Saturday 5 July, the day Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist organisation, 29 people were arrested for sitting in Parliament Square with handwritten signs that read “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” Among them was an 83-year-old priest, Sue Parfitt, who described the significance of the action – it was “testing out the law”, she told our reporter. It was always clear to us at Novara Media that the protest would be newsworthy, whether arrests were made or not. We agreed with Parfitt: how the state responded would be telling.

St Paul, MN — Unicorn Riot’s long legal battle in Minnesota to protect newsgathering materials from attorneys working for Energy Transfer reached yet another phase: The Minnesota Supreme Court released its ruling Wednesday about the subpoena in Hennepin County that has attempted to probe our organization. The court rejected Energy Transfer’s attempt to compel the release of newsgathering materials and reporter communications; it also ruled that a judge could order a complex document called a privilege log to be created.

Chris Hedges Report: Journalists And Their Shadows

June 13, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. Resistance Report Journalism, Journalists, Media, Press Freedom

Journalist A. J. Liebling famously said, “Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one.” Today, in a world dominated by corporate capitalism — including subservient politicians and careerists — the press’s freedom has been eroded to mere margins. Journalist and writer Patrick Lawrence joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to chronicle the decline of journalism, which he details in his book, Journalists and Their Shadows. Lawrence defines what a journalist is meant to do and be, a definition he attributes to John Dewey. A journalist “has to stand outside of power and present to readers and viewers the known considerations whenever a question of national policy was at issue, and engender a public debate so people could draw their conclusions and register those conclusions.”
