We have no idea what you have been doing in your home offices over the past ten months.
This is what we have done, among a few other things: Journalismtrustinitiative.org
1/ JTI is a one-of-a-kind tool for journalism. #Transparency is the way news media can get the reward they deserve.
To regain the competitive advantage over pseudo-journalism.
To detox our information space by pushing the good, to drive out the bad. #journalismtrustinitiative
2/ From today on, news media outlets can use the jti:app to check, disclose & promote compliance of their editorial processes with best practices of the trade.
And to turn investments into ethics and professionalism into a tangible asset. #journalismtrustinitiative#NOTHINGTOHIDE
Ahead of the start of the hearing, RSF along with @StellaMoris1, attempted to deliver the petition at 10 Downing Street calling for the #UK authorities not to extradite #Assange to the #US. Unfortunately, 10 Downing Street refused to accept it. #FreeAssange
As his extradition hearing resumes, we call yet again for Julian Assange to be immediately released, the charges against him dropped, and for him to not be extradited to the #UnitedStates.
We fully believe the case against him is connected to his contributions to public interest reporting, and his prosecution has extremely worrying implications for press freedom and the protection of journalistic sources internationally. #JulianAssange
🔴 #RSF is mobilised this morning in support of Julian #Assange, in front of #Woolwich court in London where his trial begins in a few hours. #FreeAssange#live
In retaliation for his role facilitating major revelations in the international media about how the US conducted its wars, #Assange is facing 18 charges in the US, including 17 under the Espionage Act. If extradited to the USA he could be sentenced to up to 175
years in prison.
#RSF urges the UK government to prioritise the principles of freedom of expression and the defence of journalism in its treatment of Assange, and to act in accordance with UK law and the country’s international human rights obligations. #FreeAssange
The leaders of the G7 nations discussed the “Partnership on Information and Democracy” at the #G7summit. The result of the #InformationDemocracy Initiative, launched by RSF, is due to be signed by around 20 countries during the next @UN General Assembly in September.
RSF dévoile sa nouvelle enquête : “Les journalistes, bêtes noires de la mafia”. Nous y mettons en lumière la traque incessante des groupes mafieux contre les journalistes, dès lors que ces derniers s’intéressent d’un peu trop près à leur business.

"Encore la semaine dernière, un journaliste italien @FedericoRuffo, spécialiste de la Ndrangheta et de la corruption dans le milieu du football a été victime d’une tentative d’incendie criminel à domicile." 1/2 @cdeloire
