An important new podcast series providing an insight into Saudi Arabia and made by Saudi journalists & activists, has launched. The first 3 episodes, produced by FFRs @ghariba33 cover the aftermath of the brutal murder of freelance journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Listen to ep.1 here:
"Too often now, with big news organisations having left the field, it is freelancers who report from the frontlines. Yet, should they die, there is less of a media storm about their deaths than is usually the case for staffers. Less media noise means less pressure on the relevant authorities to act. Consequently, there are too few proper investigations into journalists killed in the line of duty. It is becoming clear that over the past few years, there has been a growing acceptance that reporters and photographers, whether staff or freelancers, can be killed with impunity when covering conflicts. Allen’s case is therefore emblematic of the current situation." - Roy Greenslade in The Guardian on FFR Member #ChristopherAllen, whose "death should not be invisible. To let it pass without a rigorous investigation is to sanction the impunity of the killing of journalists."
