Africa: Nine Reporters Suspended By Media Authority: [IFJ] According to local media reports, the EMA sent a letter to Germany's international broadcaster on 23 October, claiming that the broadcaster and its local correspondents had "violated Ethiopian law and regulations, and failed to respect professional ethics". The country's media authority did not seem to have specified when this suspension would be lifted. newsfeed.facilit8.network/TP09 #Africa #Journalism #MediaAuthority #Ethiopia #PressFreedom

Radio Free Asia is on pause

"When RFA Uyghur journalists first exposed the violent repression and mass detainment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, China harassed and arrested their family members. Still, our journalists bravely continued the work of uncovering atrocities. With the world’s only independent Uyghur-language news service shuttered, China’s propaganda will fester without a potent and effective accountability check."

Parliament has blocked a press pass for a media outlet with a history of critical reporting on Israel's influence on British politics.

#Declassified UK said it was initially told its pass was rejected "due to limitations within the Parliamentary estate" but it later filed a freedom of information request that revealed its press pass was blocked due to its critical position of #Israel

#Corbyn has filed an EDM tonight with the intention to get the matter debated

U.S. Media Literacy Week

U.S. Media Literacy Week -U.S. Media Literacy WeekThe mission of U.S. Media Literacy Week is to highlight the power of media literacy education and its essential role in education all across the country.

"This concentration of media ownership under David Ellison is a worrisome instance of vertical integration in the AI age. Oracle is a technology company, not a media company, but its hosting, processing, and cloud services are very much embedded in the media chain of ownership.

Control of what counts as the news, and how content gets delivered and consumed, is a major geopolitical concern. Capture of that media leaves mass communication vulnerable to manipulation by vested interests. The US government under Trump is aggressively pursuing this centralization of control; the administration has made it abundantly clear that any attempt at regulating powerful US technology companies overseas is an aggressive affront to trade, and tantamount to “censorship.”

During a recent Open Markets Institute conference in Brussels called “The Future of Democracy: Speech, Thought, Sovereignty, and Power in the Age of Platforms and AI,” Roger MacNamee, an early Silicon Valley investor and now a critic of Big Tech, described ascendant AI companies as “breathing new life into old monopolies.” Big Tech companies have long wielded dominance over economic policy and culture, but the regulatory challenges are finally spilling over to issues surrounding media ownership."

With enough public pressure, we can turn #Adani ’s attack on #journalism against them, and make the #bankers call it quits.

Sign the petition to cut off Adani’s money supply.

Together, we already stopped Scottish investor #Abrdn from investing in Adani bonds, and drove a notable reduction in financial support for Adani. It’s time to hold accountable those still bankrolling Adani, and defend #PressFreedom around the world.

in a #Delhi court last month, as a gag-order against #journalists issued by a lower court was lifted.

The original gag-order even applied to individuals not named in the case – a chilling attack on #PressFreedom in #India and everyone’s right to information. #ReportersWithoutBorders (RSF) condemns this dangerous precedent, and calls for company’s complaints to be handled under the proper procedure.

India’s coal giant won’t leave it at that – and nor should we.
