📢 Public-interest journalism is crucial for information integrity. We urge the Global Digital Compact to emphasise the crucial role of independent, free and pluralistic media as underscored by the UN Global Principles for Information Integrity by strengthening support for public-interest journalism in paragraphs 12, 30(a), and 66 and retaining reference to public-interest in paragraph 34(b). We further call for the clear inclusion of the media community as a key stakeholder in paragraphs 6, 8(k), 17(f), 27, 34(e), 64, and 65 as well as for explicit reference to the Global Principles for Information Integrity and its emphasis on the role of independent, free and pluralistic media. 📰 Journalist protection is fundamental to press freedom. We applaud Rev 3 of the Global Digital Compact for including support for journalists. We call on UN Member States to strengthen the protection of journalists, media workers and human rights defenders online and guarantee access to information in line with international human rights law and international humanitarian law. We advocate for such additional protections in the GDC, including in paragraphs 23(d), 30(d), 31(d), and 34(d). 🗃️ Access to data is key for public-interest journalism: paragraph 35(b) of the Global Digital Compact must include a call for social media platforms to grant journalists access to data. #MediaDev
