A United States judge ruled that the Pentagon’s restrictions imposed on reporters are unconstitutional and “vacated” the “challenged provisions” of the policy. He defended the right of members of news media to solicit information from sources and upheld the public’s right to know information about their government. “[I]n light of the country’s recent incursion into Venezuela and its ongoing war with Iran, it is more important than ever that the public have access to information from a variety of perspectives about what its government is doing,” Judge Paul Friedman declared.

Journalists Jailed By ICE Are Revealing The Horrors Of Incarceration

February 21, 2026 Jeremy Busby, Truthout. Educate! ICE, Journalists, Prisons, Torture

For decades, corporate media and elected officials have shown little interest in reporting by incarcerated individuals on the unchecked inhumane treatment and deplorable conditions inside U.S. jails, detention centers, and prisons. But as a result of the Trump administration’s escalation of anti-immigrant violence and efforts to quell all dissent, professional journalists and writers, who normally are severely restricted from entering into the U.S.’s carceral facilities, are now themselves experiencing the harsh realities that nearly 2.1 million incarcerated people are subjected to daily in this country.

Committee To Protect Journalists Scrapped ‘Impunity Index’

February 16, 2026 Press TV, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ)CPJ, Israel, Journalists, Palestine, Whistleblowers, Zionism

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), a US nonprofit organization based in New York City, has discontinued its annual Global Impunity Index, a decision that current and former staff members say was motivated by a desire to avoid highlighting Israel’s leading role in unpunished killings of journalists amid its genocidal war against the people of Gaza. According to whistleblowers speaking to The Electronic Intifada, CPJ CEO Jodie Ginsberg canceled the index last August in a calculated move to prevent Israel from topping the list. The Impunity Index, published since 2008, ranks countries by the rate of unsolved murders of journalists relative to population over a 10-year rolling period

Protests Mushroom As ‘Drawdown’ Of Attacks Fails To Materialize

Minneapolis—Determination to resist the continuing assault on democracy by the Trump administration is reflected in demonstrations breaking out here and from coast to coast. There are boycotts being organized by teachers and students in schools, customers at shopping plazas, and workers on the job in Minnesota by people angry about the administration’s backing off on claims that it was going to draw down its attacks on immigrants and their supporters. Early in the morning on Jan. 30, people were already gathering at the Federal Building. The repression was intensified Thursday with the arrest and jailing of journalists covering the protests.

At least four countries will withdraw from next year’s Eurovision Song Contest following a decision to allow Israel to compete. After a European Broadcasting Union (EBU) discussion in Switzerland this week, public broadcasters from Slovenia, Spain, Ireland, and the Netherlands issued statements denouncing the failure to address concerns over Israel’s participation in the contest, while Palestine solidarity movements elsewhere in Europe are demanding from more broadcasters to follow suit. “For more than a year, we have been warning that we cannot stand on the same stage with a representative of a country that has committed genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza,” said Ksenija Horvat

News, Not Slop

December 5, 2025 The Stand. Resist! Collective bargaining, Journalists, Politico, Unions

Politico and E&E News journalists announced a major victory in arbitration this week, successfully arguing that Politico management violated the workers’ collective bargaining agreement by unilaterally introducing two artificial intelligence tools for news coverage without providing notice or bargaining over their implementation. Per the workers’ union–the PEN Guild, part of the Washington-Baltimore NewsGuild-CWA–it’s one of the first major arbitration cases concerning AI practices in journalism, setting a powerful precedent.

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.

British Journalist Sami Hamdi Recounts ICE Detention

British journalist Sami Hamdi, who was recently released from ICE detention in the United States, recounted what he experienced during an online discussion organized by the Freedom of the Press Foundation. Hamdi had a valid visa and a ticket for a domestic flight to Tampa, Florida, where he was scheduled to speak at a banquet for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Yet as a result of pressure from anti-Muslim activists Laura Boomer and Amy Mek, the State Department revoked his visa, and he was held in confinement for around 18 days. On October 26, the Department of Homeland Security took him into custody at the San Francisco International Airport. His detention and removal was in retaliation for his speech in support of Palestinian human rights and against the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza.

The family of a British Muslim journalist detained by US authorities since the weekend have called for the UK government to support his immediate release from detention, criticising it for "lack of action". Sami Hamdi was held by the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agency at San Francisco international airport during a speaking tour in the US. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) has described the detention as retaliation for Hamdi's criticism of Israel, calling it an "abduction". Hamdi's wife Soumaya said on Wednesday that he was "abducted" over his advocacy for Palestinian rights.

A former US military policeman who investigated the killing of US-Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Aqla says an Israeli soldier deliberately shot her, but his superiors at the State Department changed the conclusions of his report to claim the killing was unintentional, the New York Times (NYT) reported on 27 October. Abu Aqla was shot and killed by an Israeli soldier in Jenin in the West Bank in May 2022 while reporting for Al Jazeera on clashes between the Israeli army and Palestinian resistance forces. Israel initially claimed that Palestinian fighters had killed Abu Aqla, but belatedly apologized for her death a full year later.

October 11, 2025 Kevin Gosztola, The Dissenter. Educate! Chicago, ICE, Illinois, Journalists, Legal System, State Repression

United States District Judge Sara Ellis issued a temporary restraining order to prevent attacks by federal agents on journalists or non-violent protesters. She instructed agents to wear “visible identification” on their uniforms or helmets. Also, Ellis restricted the use of crowd control weapons on journalists, protesters, or clergy, including a prohibition against shooting individuals “to strike the head, neck, groin, spine, or female breast, or striking any person with a vehicle.” The order [PDF], which applies to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other agencies, will remain in force for two weeks while a court reviews a lawsuit alleging significant First Amendment violations.

US Court Prohibits Attacks On Journalists Covering ICE Protests

September 12, 2025 Kevin Gosztola, The Dissenter. Resist! ICE, Journalism, Journalists, Legal System, Press Freedom

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.

How Administrators Failed To Stop The Presses At The University Of Texas

September 6, 2025 Aeffia Feuerstein, Unicorn Riot. Resist! Journalists, Palestine, Student Activism, Student Journalists, Texas, University Of Texas

It would have been easy for the small team of student journalists at the University of Texas Dallas to just crash. Administrators had been throwing obstacles in front of them since October 7. But the students forged a new path. A path riddled with craters, bumps, and sometimes stars. And as for administrators… University administrators are not competent. They are career bureaucrats. … They’re not there because they are the best in their field. They’re there because they had good political maneuverings to get into their position. … They’re there because they make the school look good sometimes. So if there is pressure on you, it’s not because they know the law. It’s not because you did something wrong. …They will do their violations and they will move on. You’re just another student to them unless you stand up for yourself. And I think we really show that you can stand up for yourself and be successful.

The Betrayal Of Palestinian Journalists

September 1, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. Educate! Israel, Journalists, Media, Palestine, PTSD, War Correspondents

There are two types of war correspondents. The first type does not attend press conferences. They do not beg generals and politicians for interviews. They take risks to report from combat zones. They send back to their viewers or readers what they see, which is almost always diametrically opposed to official narratives. This first type, in every war, is a tiny minority. Then there is the second type, the inchoate blob of self-identified war correspondents who play at war. Despite what they tell editors and the public, they have no intention of putting themselves in danger. They are pleased with the Israeli ban on foreign reporters into Gaza. They plead with officials for background briefings and press conferences.

Gazans Go On Hunger Strike In The Midst Of Famine

Wadea Abu Soud, a reporter for Yemen TV in Gaza and father of four, declared his hunger strike on July 20 alongside two of his colleagues. He says his hunger strike is a message to the world about the famine in Gaza, where most families can’t feed their children. “I am a starving journalist who is attempting to convey the suffering of his starving people,” Abu Soud says. Abu Soud is one of a growing number of journalists and first responders in Gaza who have declared that they are going on hunger strike in the midst of a famine. Their demand is that all of Gaza’s children must be fed. “Our voices are reaching the world,” Abu Soud says. “The occupation has failed to launder its lies to the world.”
