Coping with the Death of Press Freedom

In our third episode, we deal with the death of press freedom. Press freedom can be defined as the right of newspapers and magazines to report the news without government control. The World Press Freedom Index ranks each country according to how free it is. The 2022 report shows a decreasing trend worldwide, due to increased polarisation and disinformation narratives. To help us cope, we are joined by Monica Baro Sanchez, an independent investigative Cuban journalist. In 2019 the State Security Department of the Cuban government began a harassment campaign and jail threats that forced her to leave the country and move to Spain.
