Info
The International Press Institute (IPI) is a global network of editors, media executives and leading journalists who share a common dedication to quality, independent journalism. Together, we promote the conditions that allow journalism to fulfill its public function, the most important of which is the media’s ability to operate free from interference and without fear of retaliation. Our mission is to defend media freedom and the free flow of news wherever they are threatened. IPI was formed at Columbia University following the Second World War by 34 leading editors from 15 countries on the belief that a free press would contribute to the creation of a better world. IPI today includes members in more than 100 countries across the globe united in the belief that freedom of expression is “the right that protects all other rights” and must be protected and defended.

Next week, join IPI for a special webinar on Ecuador's spiraling journalist safety crisis amid a surge in organized crime and drug-related violence. Four leading Ecuadorean journalists and editors will speak about the urgent threat to press freedom and how the international community can support them. Follow the link to register and join us on Tuesday, July 23 at 16:00 Central European Time on Zoom. The background you need: Earlier this year, masked men armed with guns and explosives stormed the set of Ecuador’s TC Televisión during a live broadcast – a shocking event that put into sharp focus the unfolding journalist safety crisis in Ecuador. While press freedom challenges are not new in Ecuador, a surge of organized crime and drug-related violence starting last year has shattered journalists’ sense of security and increasingly put their safety at risk. The government of President Daniel Noboa is under pressure to curb the violence, and has resorted to increasingly drastic measures to do so. But Noboa’s heavy hand is also raising fears about press freedom, including after the government reportedly pushed for the closure of a critical TV program. The upshot of these developments is a growing atmosphere of fear, self-censorship, and, increasingly, journalists leaving the country for exile.

#Sudan: In June, the ICC Prosecutor appealed for evidence of ongoing atrocities being inflicted on civilians in Dafur amidst the ongoing war. Journalists are among those who have been targeted & killed. Due to the ongoing press freedom threats & violations, the capacity of the media to document human rights abuses is also limited #DontForgetSudan

The IPI global network remains deeply alarmed by the escalating violence against journalists in Pakistan following the recent killing of reporter Malik Hassan Zeb, the 8th journalist to be killed in the country since the start of 2024. We urge authorities to conduct a swift and thorough investigation into the motive for this killing and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice. Just one month ago in June IPI issued a statement expressing our concern over the deterioration of press freedom and journalist’ safety in Pakistan, marked by a wave of violence against the press along with the introduction of harsh restrictions on press freedom and online expression. We renew our call on authorities to take concrete action to ensure the safety and protection of journalists in Pakistan. The violence against the country’s journalists must end.
