Today at Truth Tellers (Sir Harry Evans Investigative Journalism Summit), I spoke with Maria Ressa about the challenges of journalism under autocracies.
In autocracies, the first casualty is truth.
Maria won the Nobel Peace Prize for her courage and journalistic work in the Philippines, facing persecution, censorship, and disinformation.
In Venezuela, we know this reality all too well.
When the truth makes those in power uncomfortable, reporting it becomes an act of bravery.
That is why today, more than ever, we must defend free journalism, the truth, and the right of societies to be informed.
