Podcasts about Freedom of the press

With so many wars and emergencies happening at once, it can be easy for other fundamental issues to go unnoticed, such as the safety of journalists.Nonetheless, it is a time of great danger for reporters who cover these important stories – like Christina Assi, a Lebanese photojournalist who was seriously injured in a double missile strike in the recent fighting between Hezbollah and Israel.Despite her injuries, Ms. Assi carried the Olympic torch in France ahead of the Olympic Games.It was a powerful symbol of resilience to many but for her, things haven't been easy at all. “I believe in nothing right now… Our Press vests are turning us into targets and it's becoming a death sentence for us,” she told UN News's Nancy Sarkis.

Andrew and Mary begin this week by acknowledging that, as the Trump administration approaches its 100th day mark, some themes have materialized. One is intimidation, exemplified most recently with the arrest of Wisconsin state court judge Hannah Dugan last Friday, while Trump continues to clash with local authorities over his deportation efforts. Another theme is due process, or the lack of it. Our Main Justice hosts point to a litany of immigration issues front and center this week, including the wrongful deportation of US citizen children, Attorney General Pam Bondi's March memo to law enforcement laying out how to implement the Alien Enemies Act, and what happened when the government was compelled to have a hearing in a Texas case: they fell flat on the merits. And before wrapping up, Andrew and Mary explain why Trump's media policy change, tossing out Biden era protections for journalists, is problematic for a free press.Further reading: Mary's recent Op-ed in the Washington Post: What Alito got right in his El Salvador case dissent.Pam Bondi's March 14th memo issuing guidance for implementing the Alien Enemies Act.Pam Bondi's April 25th memo updating the policy regarding obtaining information from, or records of, members of the news media.A note to listeners: In the Abrego Garcia case, despite the earlier admission in court that his removal was a mistake, the government's current position is that he a member of MS 13, which his lawyers deny.Want to listen to this show without ads?

From April 22, 2021: Jack Goldsmith sat down with Lee Bollinger, the president of Columbia University, and Geoffrey Stone, the Edward H. Levy Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago Law School, to discuss their new book, "National Security, Leaks and Freedom of the Press: The Pentagon Papers Fifty Years On." They discussed the holding and legacy of the Pentagon Papers case, as well as some of the many challenges of applying the Pentagon Papers regime in the modern digital era that is characterized by massive leaks and a very different press landscape than the one that prevailed in 1971.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

A Russian-American filmmaker has spoken to FRANCE 24 about how her new film captures the last days of resistance to the regime in Russia before the invasion of Ukraine. Julia Loktev, who was born in what was then Leningrad, grew up in the United States. Her film "My Undesirable Friends: Part I — Last Air in Moscow" follows the staff of the television channel TV Rain, which aims to tell the truth about the Russian regime. Since the documentary was filmed, TV Rain has been forced to close in Russia and has set up home in Amsterdam, from where it now broadcasts. She spoke to us in Perspective.

Democracy and freedom, die in ignorance. There is wilful ignorance, as in not wanting to know; there is collateral ignorance, as in watching silly videos and media feeds rather than seeking information; and there is imposed ignorance, when sources of information are cut off and denied. The Trump administration is blatantly indulging in the latter, both internally and externally. Within the US, the administration is hand picking the media outlets it will deal with, while also dismantling the Department of Education. Outside the US, it has chosen to defund and potentially close both Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and the Voice of America — two amazing organisations that have brought facts and news across the globe, notably those in non-democratic regimes.It seems that for the Trump administration journalism is a threat. In a world where the boundaries between media, politics and business continue to erode, the likes of Trump, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos have become central figures in shaping public discourse. Moreover, the rise of entertainment news, change of habits, explosive volumes of news pose significant challenges for journalism today.To explore these issues, Ilana Bet-El is joined by veteran BBC journalist Kate Adie. In a conversation rich with anecdotes from her storied career, she reflects on the evolution of media, the structural crises of today's news industry and the fundamental role of journalism in society. Amid the explosion of information and the struggle to filter truth from noise, she argues that people basically seek real news and information, not propaganda. Because in the end, the truth still matters.This episode was recorded on 20 March 2025 and is part of the third edition of the Podcasthon, an initiative dedicated to raising awareness on various charities worldwide, thanks to (great!) podcasters. For this episode, we put the spotlight on the Committee to Protect Journalists: an independent, nonprofit organisation that promotes press freedom worldwide and defends the right of journalists to report the news safely.ChaptersWhat is journalism in an age of billionaires and power struggles?The decline of traditional media and the rise of digital chaosThe battle between real news and entertainment-driven coverageThe structural crisis of the media industryWhy people still want real journalism—and why it mattersMentionsCommittee to Protect Journalists Instagram X/Twitter Youtubewww.podcasthon.orgKate Adie reporting on Tiananmen SquareFollow Kate's BBC websiteInstagramELN Twitter LinkedIn websiteCreditsProduction: Florence FerrandoMusic: Let Good Times Roll, RA from #Uppbeat Hosted on Acast.

US President, Donald Trump, likes to say he's the protector of free speech. Yet, his administration has already threatened Democratic Congress members with investigation for criticizing conservatives while withdrawing federal grants that include language it opposes. This as it sanctioned law firms that represent Trump's political opponents and arrested the Palestinian organizer of student protests that Trump criticized as “anti-Semitic, anti-American.” The US president stripping back the government-funded news organisation Voice of America as he accused it of being "anti-Trump" and "radical". So will free speech survive in America? And are we merely witnessing the opening salvos of a war on so-called wokeism? Produced by Rebecca Gnignati, Elisa Amiri, Ilayda Habip, Juliette Laffont.

In being careful to avoid a monarchy or dictatorship, America’s founders adamantly insisted on each government agency being independent.

Does the Free Press Clause provide extra rights to the institutional press, or instead protect all speakers' equal rights to use the printing press and its technological heirs? Eugene Volokh and Jane Bambauer discuss this and more with legendary First Amendment litigator Floyd Abrams.

Hosts: Erin Rider and Leah Murray  Recently, the Trump Administration barred the Associated Press (AP) from covering the Oval Office. It comes because of how the news organization refers to the Gulf of America: call it Gulf of Mexico while also mentioning that President Trump has decided to call it the Gulf of America. It's brought up some thoughts on how President Trump works with the press, how far the 1st amendment goes, and when a President can sue for libel. 

www.commsolutionsmn.com- What is going on with the DFL? They've done gone lost their minds. There are three different seats up for grabs. A State Senator in Minneapolis passed away, and there will be a special election for the seat. The primary is on January 14th, with the special election on January 28th. There was a one-day filing period. Most of the time, there's a couple of weeks. What's the rush? DFL candidate Curtis Johnson (40B - Roseville) won an election, and then was found to not meet the residency requirements. Curtis wasn't not allowed to hold the seat, giving the Republicans a 67-66 temporary edge. In the race down in Shakopee, DFL candidate, Brad Tabke won his race by 14 votes... except that there are 20 ballots missing. Of course the Democrats are all ok with these missing ballots and call any kind of a re-vote as election interference, although when the vote goes against them, every vote must be counted. It's hypocrisy at its worst. Speaking of "the worst", we have seen the mainstream media continue to lie about Donald Trump. George Stephanopolous and ABC settled with Donald Trump for falsely accusing him of being a "rapist" ten times. Did ABC punish old George? Of course not! The corporate bosses have a story to tell, and the truth can't get in the way. CBS has been under fire for cutting content out of an interview with Vice President and then-presidential candidate, Kamala Harris. CBS says that it was done for time, but they were caught posting two answers to the same question. So that caused many to believe that CBS was hiding something on her behalf. What is the solution to a mainstream media in the Democrat's pocket? Are their days of influence behind them? Let us know what you think!

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Founding editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's show, a bonus episode from our weekly What Matters Now podcast. Five years ago this week, The Times of Israel launched its Daily Briefing podcast to keep listeners updated on the latest news out of Israel and the region, from Sunday through Thursday. Starting from October 7, 2023, the podcast has moved to seven days a week in an effort to broadcast fair and accurate news and analysis from Israel every day during wartime. We discuss the locations of some of the podcast's more unexpected listenership. Horovitz then delves into ongoing efforts on the part of the government to limit the freedom of the press, from the banning of Al Jazeera to halting government ads in a left-wing daily to trying to close down the irritating state broadcaster. He explains the "gentleman's agreement" that is the basis of the relationship of the Israeli press with the military censor -- and how frustrating it can be. We also hear about the inescapable blindsides in reporting a war in which often unverifiable narratives pour out of Gaza and are widely presented as solid truths.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with The Times of Israel's founding editor David Horovitz. Five years ago this week, The Times of Israel launched its Daily Briefing podcast to keep listeners updated on the latest news out of Israel and the region, from Sunday through Thursday. Starting from October 7, 2023, the podcast has moved to seven days a week in an effort to broadcast fair and accurate news from Israel during wartime. We discuss the locations of some of the podcast's more unusual listenership. Horovitz delves into ongoing efforts on the part of the government to limit the freedom of the press, from the banning of Al Jazeera to halting paid ads in Haaretz. He explains the "gentleman's agreement" that is the nature of the relationship of Israeli press with the military censor -- and how frustrating it can be. We learn about the inescapable blindsides in reporting this war that see unverifiable narratives out of Gaza be taken as truths, and how dangerous this situation is. So this week, we ask editor David Horovitz, what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

Longtime radio host Thom Hartmann discuss media coverage of the election and his latest piece, US fascism has arrived thanks to 30 years of right-wing talk radio.

SERIES 3 EPISODE 47: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump has now finally OVERTLY threatened to shut down the free press in the country, then repeated that threat in a speech at Detroit, and then descended IN that speech to meandering gibberish, the kind of incoherence that would get you institutionalized whether you were 28 or 78 – like him. “A FAKE NEWS SCAM, which is totally illegal. TAKE AWAY THE CBS LICENSE.” Once again, he MEANS this. The intent is to punish, bankrupt, prosecute, anybody who criticizes him – that includes CBS, that includes me, and like all totalitarians and dictators that threat to destroy critics will soon or late include YOU. But there is within the threat something almost as frightening. CBS does not HAVE a license. News organizations do not HAVE licenses. Individual over-the-air tv and radio stations HAVE licenses, but if he really managed to take their licenses CBS Television would still exist. So would 60 Minutes. He does not understand this. He is wrong about it. And as we have seen for a decade, when he is wrong, there is only one way out: what he is wrong about, must be CHANGED, so he's RIGHT about it. What Trump is saying is: if he regains power there WILL BE LICENSES for news organizations, and the constitution be damned. Trump also descended into ugly bodily noises and the intellectual skill of a Roomba. And to prove he really was Michigan's Man Of The Year in 2004 he finally produced a newspaper article - from 2023. About 2013. Which was immediately corrected to confirm he'd never been given such an award. A NOTE ABOUT POLLS: If you're panicking, that's part of the plan. There really has been almost no movement in any of the polling averages in three months, and some of the outliers are beyond dubious. The TIPP Pennsylvania poll showing Trump ahead by a point-and-a-half among "likely voters" hides the fact that the data among "registered voters" is Harris by five! How did they doctor that? They cut out almost all the voters from Philadelphia. B-Block (23:08) A LITTLE INSIDE BASEBALL: What happens when one of our celebrity announcers hears the "Toccata" theme from "Worst Persons" at a New York Yankees Playoff game? (27:23) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Should the part of a radio broadcast where the baseball relief pitcher comes in by sponsored by an anti-choking suction device? Kari Lake has a rough night with initials and genders. And The New York Times is right back to cowering before Trump. He talks eugenics and purging migrants; they talk "fascination with genes." C-Block (38:00) FRIDAYS WITH THURBER: If you ever thought the impossible stupidity began recently - how could people that dumb afford to travel that far - you're wrong. Thurber's 1937 story tells of an American traveler he met in England who was deeply offended when forced to read Macbeth because she was convinced Shakespeare had incorrectly identified the murderer, in "The Macbeth Murder Mystery."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- We're on the eve of the first (and maybe only) presidential debate. We set it up and give you our predictions, not only on the outcome, but on the press, the process, and what must happen. Nations around the world wink at having a freedom of speech, but in America, we are the only nation that has it enshrined in our constitution. Unfortunately, we are seeing it eroding in this nation as well. It's still way worse in other countries, but if we're not careful, it's going to come here. We have seen Europe and Brazil begin to go after speech that they don't like, shutting down important businesses and even wanting those that they believe to speak "hate speech" extradited to that nation to stand trial and be punished. Even in this nation, speech is being stifled. Social media companies are having to admit that the government is forcing them to censor speech around certain topics that are bad for the Democrats or go against their policies.

The decline of local journalism in the United States is becoming a more pressing issue by the day. Since 2005, the country has lost more than 2,500 newspapers and 43,000 journalists, primarily due to a drop in revenue from advertising amid strong online competition. More than 200 counties in the US are considered “news deserts” with no local newspaper. In 1,500 others there is only one regional source of information, often a weekly publication. The situation is dire: one in five Americans now lives in an area with no local journalism. FRANCE 24's Pierrick Leurent and Wassim Cornet report.

Press freedom is in crisis in the "world's largest democracy" with attacks against journalists, concentration of media ownership, pro-government bias and expulsions of foreign reporters. Since India's Hindu nationalist Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power in 2014, several mainstream Indian TV channels have effectively turned into government mouthpieces.

"Western World Observes Press Freedom Day," gloated the United Press International newswire back in 1961. "Trump v. CNN: lawsuit becomes test case on press freedom," declared The Guardian in November 2018. "The 10 Best and Worst Countries for Press Freedom," says US News and World report in 2022. For decades, elite US media and government institutions have touted the sacred notion of freedom of the press. Our media, so we're told, have the legally enshrined latitude and responsibility to criticize, to interrogate, to expose. According to this same high-minded rhetoric, freedom of the press preserves our media's integrity and serves as a pillar of US democracy. This all sounds well and good. After all, media's ability to keep the public informed without constraints or compromise is intrinsically good and essential to any society - that's kinda the whole point of this show. But there are far more limitations to US-based frameworks of freedom of the press than our media, and our government, let on. Far too often, the concept of press freedom is limited by liberal formulations of negative rights, and even those, selectively applied depending on short term US interests. As the US-backed wholesale destruction of Gaza by Israel enters its 10 month and more than 140 journalists have been killed in the assault –– many deliberately targeted by the Israeli military –– Western elite sanctimony over their alleged commitment to press freedom has been revealed as hollow, its ideological cracks and contradictions apparent for all to see. On this episode, our Season 7 Finale, we examine lofty American conceptions of freedom of the press, especially as it emerged in the middle of the 20th century, looking at how US media organizations are more willing to award rights, sympathy, and security to those journalists and institutions who help prop up the usual State Department line. Our guests are documentarian Kavitha Chekuru and journalist Hoda Osman.

What if the press wasn't free to report on government actions? Imagine a world where the government controlled the flow of information. This episode of United She Stands takes you on a journey through the essential role of freedom of the press as enshrined in the First Amendment. We kick off with a refresher on the First Amendment's five fundamental freedoms, with a spotlight on why the founders deemed the freedom of the press crucial for democracy. From the early days of newspapers to the modern digital age, learn how this clause has evolved to encompass all forms of media.Join us as we recount the gripping Pentagon Papers case and its significant implications for press freedom, where classified Vietnam War documents leaked by Daniel Ellsberg led to a groundbreaking Supreme Court decision. Explore the distinctions between public figures and private citizens in libel cases, and the responsibilities of journalists and private citizens alike in today's media landscape. We also revisit the 1940s Hutchins Commission's call for the media's moral obligations, diving into contemporary challenges like fake news and the ongoing threats to press freedom.

A Note from James:"I've known Anthony Scaramucci for about 15 years. We had breakfast 15 years ago after his first book came out, and I had written a review of it in the Financial Times. At different times, we even thought about working together, about 10 or 15 years ago. He's always been a very interesting guy.Of course, I know him from the hedge fund world, but much later, he got involved in the political world. He became the Communications Director of the White House under Donald Trump for 11 days before he got fired. He later came on my podcast to talk about his time there, and by then, he was more aligned with Biden.Anthony has a problem: both sides of the aisle don't like him. Democrats remember him as a Trump guy, and Trump supporters hate him because he trashes Trump. I like it when people can't figure out what they really are, but love him or hate him, Anthony Scaramucci has been involved in top news events of the past 10-15 years. From Trump to being involved with FTX, where Sam Bankman-Fried tried to buy Anthony's firm SkyBridge and bought a stake in it, which is part of the bankruptcy proceedings.He just wrote a book, 'From Wall Street to the White House and Back,' the Scaramucci guide to unbreakable resilience. We started off by discussing why people either love or hate him. I pointed out that the worst thing you could have for a book is three-star reviews. You want a lot of five-star reviews and a lot of one-star reviews to show you had an impact on people. That's how he is as a person, and I feel like that's how I am sometimes. We had a good conversation.He's been a friend for a long time. Here's Anthony Scaramucci."Episode Description:In this episode, James Altucher welcomes Anthony Scaramucci, a man who has worn many hats—hedge fund manager, White House Communications Director, and now author. Known for his controversial yet impactful presence, Scaramucci shares insights from his new book, "From Wall Street to the White House and Back," offering listeners a unique perspective on resilience, peak performance, and navigating the highs and lows of public and professional life. Whether you love him or hate him, Scaramucci's journey provides valuable lessons on maintaining integrity, finding purpose, and thriving amidst adversity.What You'll Learn:Navigating Political and Financial Turbulence: How Scaramucci dealt with his brief yet tumultuous tenure in the White House and his involvement in the FTX debacle.Building Unbreakable Resilience: Insights from Scaramucci's new book on how to cultivate resilience in the face of public and private challenges.Bitcoin and Crypto Insights: Scaramucci's perspective on the future of Bitcoin, the impact of the FTX collapse, and the importance of doing your homework in the crypto world.Balancing Integrity and Ambition: Lessons on maintaining integrity while pursuing ambitious goals in high-stakes environments.The Importance of Being Polarizing: Why having strong opinions that elicit love or hate can be more impactful than being universally liked.Chapters:00:01:30 - Introduction and Background00:04:00 - Early Career and Hedge Funds00:11:49 - Tenure in the White House00:22:27 - FTX and Crypto Insights00:39:30 - Bitcoin and Financial Strategies00:49:33 - Political Views and Voting Decisions01:00:53 - Philosophical Insights and Purpose01:03:34 - Closing Thoughts and Future PlansAdditional Resources:Anthony Scaramucci's book: "From Wall Street to the White House and Back"SkyBridge CapitalBitcoin and Cryptocurrency Resources ------------What do YOU think of the show?

On May 6, 2024, The 13th Step team was honored with a Pulitzer Prize nomination for audio reporting "for their gripping and extensively reported investigation of corruption and sexual abuse within the lucrative recovery industry that sought accountability despite legal pressure.”Today, we go behind the scenes, once again, with New Hampshire Public Radio Reporter Lauren Chooljian and Story Editor Alison MacAdam to learn their techniques for ensuring journalistic accuracy and fairness as they faced attempts at intimidation. And this close team learned how to create a "trauma-informed workplace" -- and how emotional support techniques helped them to keep going.  This is Part 2 of "Behind the blockbuster investigative series The 13th Step: The best defense is the truth." Listen to Part 1How to Find the Truth: Behind the Blockbuster Investigative Series The 13th StepTakeaways from today's episode include: 1. In today's journalistic and political environment, the best defense is the truth. That means using every reporting strategy you can to make sure all of your reporting is factual, precise, backed up with evidence and well organized.2.  Corroborate, corroborate, corroborate. In your story or series, explain that you corroborated your facts and how you did.3. Transparency is key. Paint thorough, fair portraits of your subjects. Human beings are complex and contradictory. This tension makes for fascinating stories and builds credibility.4. Newsroom or network leadership needs to be as committed to your journalism as you are. Depending on the circumstances, they may need to pay legal fees, tap insurance and even fund security.5. Chooljian had two huge reasons to continue reporting, even after she, her family, and her newsroom were targeted in a rash of criminal threats.  The first: Her sources had bravely stepped forward to share their stories with her. Doing so put them at risk — as she says, a risk they took without the kinds of organizational, financial and legal resources available to her. Second: Backing down would have sent a signal to others that retaliation works.

A Note from James:"The Year of Living Constitutionally." I mentioned this episode last week during our discussion with AJ Jacobs, but here we delve into his book, "The Year of Living Constitutionally." AJ not only researched and wrote about the Constitution, but he also spent a year living as if it were 1790, adhering to the U.S. Constitution literally. He even carried a musket and applied to be a pirate in Congress, referencing Article One, which grants Congress the power to commission pirates.The book is filled with facts, debates, and information about the newfound powers of the Supreme Court, Congress, and the President, as well as the pros and cons of states' rights versus federal rights. It covers the reasons behind various amendments and the ongoing debates about the Electoral College.AJ not only researched this; he lived it. I discussed his unique method of immersing himself in his subjects on last week's podcast, a method that has proven successful in creating bestsellers. With his humor, talent, and depth of information, AJ brings a fresh perspective to the U.S. Constitution in "The Year of Living Constitutionally: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Constitution's Original Meaning."And here's my good friend, AJ Jacobs.Episode Description:In this compelling episode of 'The James Altucher Show', James sits down with the endlessly curious and ever-experimenting AJ Jacobs, the author behind the intriguing ‘The Year of Living Constitutionally'. Delving into AJ's unique journey of trying to live by the U.S. Constitution's original tenets, this conversation unfolds a treasure trove of insights, historical quirks, and the profound impact of such an experiment on one's understanding of democracy and personal freedoms today.James and AJ unpack the myriad lessons learned from this year-long adventure, touching upon the original intent behind the Constitution's creation, the contemporary relevance of its mandates, and the often humorous, sometimes bizarre challenges of adhering to its original rules in the modern world. From carrying a musket in New York City to applying to become a legal pirate, AJ's experiences provide a unique lens through which we explore the founding document of the United States.Beyond the historical anecdotes and constitutional debates, this episode shines a light on the dynamic interplay between law, personal belief, and the evolving landscape of American democracy. James and AJ's dialogue ventures into the complexities of freedom of speech, the implications of the Electoral College, and the changing powers of the presidency, offering listeners a nuanced perspective on what the Constitution means in today's context.More than just a discussion, this episode is an invitation to reflect on the living spirit of the Constitution, encouraging us to consider how its foundational principles influence our lives and society at large.Episode Summary:00:00 Diving Into the Year of Living Constitutionally01:11 AJ Jacobs' Unique Method of Experiencing History02:56 Exploring the Original Meaning of the U.S. Constitution07:09 The Surprising Realities of Early American Laws15:26 The Evolution of Free Speech in America21:11 The Supreme Court's Role and the 14th Amendment23:37 The Growing Power of the Presidency24:21 Historical Debates and the Idea of Multiple Presidents26:04 The Evolution of Presidential Powers29:54 The Founders' Flexibility and the Constitution's Compromises37:49 The Challenges of Federal Regulation and Overregulation42:02 Reforming the Constitution for Modern Times45:42 AJ Jacobs on Writing and Future ProjectsAdditional ResourcesAJ Jacobs: https://ajjacobs.com/The Year of Living Biblically by AJ JacobsThe Year of Living Constitutionally (Link will be added once available)Federalist Papers - Authored by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James MadisonJames Altucher ------------What do YOU think of the show?

More than six months after the start of Israel's devastating offensive in response to the October 7 attacks, Palestinian journalists in Gaza continue to pay a heavy price. According to the NGO Reporters Without Borders (RSF), more than 100 have been killed, with at least 20 slain in the line of duty. Meanwhile, the international press is still banned from accessing the Palestinian enclave, much to its frustration. For RSF, Gaza is on the verge of becoming a "news black hole". So under what conditions are journalists reporting from the ground there? How is information reaching us? FRANCE 24's Tarek Kai reports. Warning: This report contains distressing images.

In 2020, New Hampshire Public Radio Lauren Chooljian received an email about Eric Spofford, the founder of New Hampshire's largest addiction treatment network. In it was an allegation that Spofford was sexually abusing female clients and employees. Chooljian set out to learn whether this could be true. Over the next three years, she would go on a journey to learn the truth, not just about this allegation, but about widespread sexual misconduct in the addiction treatment industry. The result of that journey is The 13th Step, a gripping series that  won a slew of awards, including the duPont, sometimes considered the Pulitzer of broadcasting. This is Part 1 of a two-part episode that goes behind-the-scenes of The 13th Step. Along the way, Chooljian, her family, and her news director become targets of retaliation. What started as a reporting task would also become  about another thing: Freedom of the press. And how, why, and for whom to persist with a story in the face of unnerving threats. You'll learn how to pursue a tough investigation; how to frame a complex series with many characters and themes; and how to craft  a true, deeply relevant story that serves the public good. And you'll learn what this arduous journey required of everyone involved. This episode explores sensitive subjects including addiction and sexual assault.

In this Interview, I sat down with a true G in the realm of activism, Vinnie DeStefano, National Organizing Director for AssangeDefense.org These conversations took place in London February 20th and 21st of this year 2024 during the 2-Day Court Hearing for Julian Assange at the Royal Court of Justice in Strand London. It can't be overstated that Julian is undoubtedly a Political Prisoner and his Human Right to Free Speech and Expression has been egregiously and flagrantly violated by those who wish to silence him, and ultimately all other like Julian who seek to disseminate the DARK TRUTHS, many governments will kill to hide. During this short discussion we get some background into Vinnie and his organization, as well as some insights into the current state of affairs as it pertains to Julians case and the broader ranging implications. Make no mistake, Vinnie is an All-Star and I am honored to now call him a brother. Please take the time to hear from a person who has been in and is still deep in the trenches for this supremely relevant and ongoing case.

Vanderbilt University in Nashville is leading the way in the draconian responses against pro-Palestinian rallies and protests. Today we talk to a Vanderbilt Alumni, a Vanderbilt student who was suspended but now faces probation, and a Staff Writer for the Nashville Scene who was arrested. We find out what the students were protesting and why. We talk about the disparate treatment of pro-Palestinian efforts versus more reactionary groups. We try to understand the Chancellor's principled neutrality to education at Vanderbilt. Think about principled neutrality; what might that actually mean? We ask the question is Vanderbilt University betraying or actually upholding it history of dealing with protests on campus? We finish up with Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine.

In 17 years of The Listening Post, we have never seen a story anything like Israel's war on Gaza.It has been a turning point for the world order as we know it and its media ecosystem – which is why, since October 7, we have covered nothing else.In this special edition, we compiled our reporting on the Gaza war over the past 12 weeks. The extent of the brutality, a genocide unfolding in plain sight; the sheer volume of disinformation, designed to defend the indefensible; and the complicity of so many Western news outlets – repeatedly exposed for failing to question Israeli propaganda, then spreading it.Contributors:Ariella Aïsha Azoulay - Professor of Modern Culture & Media, Brown UniversityAzad Essa - Author, Hostile HomelandsDaniel Levy - President, US/Middle East ProjectOrly Noy - Journalist, Human Rights AdvocateOmar Al-Ghazzi - Associate Professor of Media & Communications, London School of EconomicsRami Younis - Journalist; Former host On the Other Hand, Makan 33Ramzy Baroud - Editor-in-Chief, Palestine ChronicleSarah Leah Whitson - Executive Director, DAWNSwasti Rao - Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies & AnalysesYara Eid - Palestinian Journalist in GazaYumna Patel - Palestine News Director, MondoweissSubscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribeFollow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/AJEnglishFind us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/aljazeeraCheck our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/Check out our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/Download AJE Mobile App: https://aje.io/AJEMobile@AljazeeraEnglish#Aljazeeraenglish#News
