SABEW has launched an important initiative.
Under our First Amendment Committee, we’re looking to accomplish several things:
– To advocate for SABEW members and for the press (broadly defined). Too often, journalists are experiencing serious risks and threats, both externally and internally. The threats include verbal attacks and reduced access from government, violence abroad and continued disruption of news media business models.
– To explore training and programming opportunities related to press freedom, transparency and access to data.
– To release public statements when appropriate.
