🔴Zhanna Agalakova, a Russian journalist, has resigned from Russia’s 1st TV channel @channelone_rus in response to the invasion of #Ukraine. With RSF, she has decided to end her silence and talk about her experiences at a Kremlin propaganda outlet. #Thread Image
@channelone_rus @chrisdeloire @MoscowTimes @novaya_gazeta @tikhondzyadko @zygaro @shaunwalker7 @PZhurnalist @GlasnostDefense @SvobodaRadio @clarissaward "I never lied, but I kept quiet a lot.
I hesitated a lot before talking to you. Everyone told me I was crazy. I’m doing this for Russians." Zhanna Agalakova, a Russian journalist, has resigned from Russia’s 1st TV channel

"In #Russia, the government is stifling independent media and we’ve ended up in a situation in which you only see one narrative in the media – the government’s, one person’s. Our news doesn’t show the reality." Zhanna Agalakova Image
"It’s a paradox. We only see the country’s No. 1 man, what he did, what he ate. We even saw him without a shirt. But we don't know if he’s married, if he has children. There is a strange imbalance." Zhanna Agalakova Image
"Why don't you rebel? It is easy to blame the Russian journalists on the spot. I feel privileged, I feel freer, I feel able to do it. All those who are opposed, who are still there, they have families, they are hostages to the situation." Zhanna Agalakova Image
"I know that in #Russia I’ll be accused of being a spy. They’ll say I was paid a lot to say this. No one paid me, I’m not working for anyone. I’m just serving my country." Zhanna Agalakova, Russian journalist Image
"This day has just one goal. I want #Russia to hear me, I want people to learn to identify propaganda, I want them to seek alternative sources of information and stop being zombified." Zhanna Agalakova Image
“Zhanna is a phenomenon in Russian journalism. It hasn't been often that a Russian journalist has decided to speak. I think I can say that you hesitated a lot. It's normal, you weighed the risks. I want to emphasise the courage you’ve shown today.” @cdeloire

🔴 Sous le règne du président Xi Jinping, le Parti communiste chinois a drastiquement accru son contrôle sur les journalistes. Lisez l''enquête RSF qui révèle l’ampleur de la répression du régime contre le droit à l'information.
rsf.org/fr/rapports/un…
#1 ▶️ Les journalistes contraints à devenir des porte-voix du parti.
Pour obtenir leur carte de presse, les journalistes doivent télécharger l’appli "Étudier Xi, renforcer le pays" et devront bientôt suivre des cours sur la "pensée Xi". Lire le rapport : bit.ly/3EN2OJf
#2 ▶️ La plus grande prison de journalistes au monde.
Le régime détient actuellement 127 #journalistes. Enquêter sur un sujet tabou peut valoir des années de détention dans des prisons insalubres, où les mauvais traitements peuvent entraîner la mort.

🔴 Under President Xi Jinping’s rule, the Chinese Communist Party has drastically increased its control over journalists. Read RSF’s investigative report “The Great Leap Backwards of Journalism in #China”.
rsf.org/en/reports/unp…
#1 ▶️ Journalists forced to be the Party’s mouthpiece.
To receive their press cards, journalists already have to download the “Study Xi, Strengthen the Country” propaganda app that can collect their data, and will soon have an annual 90-hour training on “Xi Jinping Thought”.
#2 ▶️ The world’s biggest captor of journalists.
127 #journalists are currently detained by the regime. Investigating a “sensitive” topic can result in years of detention in unsanitary prisons, where ill-treatment can lead to death. Read the report here: bit.ly/3GhdEau

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 #journalismtrustinitiative #NOTHINGTOHIDE
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.
