The newly established One Free Press Coalition will spotlight reporters who have been jailed, threatened, or attacked. The killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Kashoggi in October 2018 drives part of the urgency behind this global initiative.
A coalition of more than a dozen global news organizations, including The Associated Press, The Financial Times and Reuters, will spotlight the world's most threatened journalists in a new freedom of speech initiative, the group announced Friday in New York.
Members of the One Free Press Coalition will publish on their platforms each month a "10 Most Urgent" list of journalists who have been jailed, threatened or attacked for their work.
The group's mission is to use the voices of its members to "stand up for journalists under attack for pursuing the truth," the organization said.
