Journalism is a public good

World trends in freedom of expression and media development; Global report 2021/2022

“Journalism is a public good” is the theme of the current edition of UNESCO’s World Trends in Freedom of Expression and Media Development. Published every four years since 2014, the World Trends series “analyses trends in media freedom, pluralism, independence, and the safety of journalists”. (https://www.unesco.org/en/world-media-trends)

The report documents the growing crises in the freedom and safety of journalists worldwide, including violence against women journalists that “poses a threat to diversity in the media, as well as equal participation in democratic deliberation and the public’s right to access information.” The publication presents the research evidence on the scale and impact of such violence, and response measures reported UN member States.

Carta desde la dacha

A raíz de las sanciones contra Rusia, los civiles pasan el verano sin trabajo, medios de comunicación y bienes asequibles.

Como muchos moscovitas, paso este verano en la casa de campo. En 2022, hay muchas más personas que en años anteriores de vacaciones en nuestro pueblo, ubicado cerca del antiguo cruce de Obiralovka, donde Lev Tolstoy arrojó a Anna Karenina debajo de un tren (las mujeres dejan ramos de flores en la placa conmemorativa de la estación, pensando que Anna fue una víctima real de un amor infeliz y no un personaje ficticio). Una razón por la que hay más gente es el desarrollo de Internet; muchos continúan trabajando de forma remota, lo que comenzaron a hacer durante la pandemia. Además, casi todos los que suelen disfrutar sus vacaciones en el extranjero están pasando el verano de 2022 en Rusia debido a las sanciones internacionales.
