US EditionReport Highlights More than 70 Threats or Attacks on Journalists
- A report highlights that since 2019, journalists in Northern Ireland have faced over 70 attacks and death threats, underscoring the region's reputation as a particularly hazardous environment for media professionals.
- These threats mostly come from loyalist and republican paramilitary groups as well as armed organized crime groups, with nearly no prosecutions for paramilitary-linked threats.
- Journalists often live in fear, use high-security measures, and remain excluded from the government’s home protection scheme that funds security installations.
- The report recommends forming a media safety group led by Justice Minister Naomi Long with PSNI, PPS, media, and NUJ representatives to develop new safety strategies and improve police responses.
- The report’s findings imply that the current safety environment for journalists in Northern Ireland is inadequate, threatening press freedom and suggesting urgent systemic reforms are needed.
