These are challenging, even dangerous times, to be a reporter. The president of the United States has targeted us, autocrats around the world are cracking down on reporters, police and the courts are moving against us. But we are also under threat from scores of lesser-known dangers, from the toll of a brutal news cycle to sexual harrassment in our own workplaces.
With from top journalists from Reuters, The Economist, Al Jazeera English, CJR, and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), we’ll explore these threats — and what comes next for journalism.
