POPULARITY
One of the most complex, and divisive, issues in modern politics is making a return under this government; ID cards. Advocates describe it as a potential way to improve public services, tackle illegal migration and modernise the state, but it remains intensely controversial, due to significant concerns over privacy, data security and equality. To discuss those issues host Alain Tolhurst is joined by Jake Richards, Labour MP for Rother Valley, Kirsty Innes, director of technology at the think tank Labour Together, Rebecca Vincent, interim director at the campaign group Big Brother Watch, and James Baker, campaigns manager at the Open Rights Group.

Welcome to series two of Brave New Media, the global podcast featuring the brave and exciting work of journalists and editors from around the world telling their stories as part of our mission to create a healthier media ecosystem. In this series we delve deep into the role of media in different contexts and how these roles impact their relationship with political powers. And just like in our first series, in each episode, a specialist will analyse the issues uncovered by our Brave New Media outlets, and propose solutions. We start this series by heading to Indonesia to hear Evi Mariani's story. Evi tells us about Project Multatuli, the media platform she co-founded to hold authorities to account in this vast country, where economic and political power is mostly concentrated in the capital, Jakarta. Evi shares how Project Multatuli found itself in direct conflict with authorities after it published a story about police inaction over a sexual abuse case involving children. Rebecca Vincent, the director of international campaigns for Reporters Without Borders (RSF), then delves into the issues of media safety discussed by Evi. Brave New Media is a co-production between BBC Media Action and Holy Mountain. It's presented by Maha Taki and produced by Saskia Black. To contact us, email: media.action@bbc.co.uk Show Links: https://projectmultatuli.org https://twitter.com/projectm_org https://tcij.org/person/rebecca-vincent/ Notes on Project Multatuli's funding structure: In December 2022, 45% of Project Multatuli's funding was from grants and then 45% was from revenue from outsourcing their team's journalism skills to other companies and outlets. The remaining 10% is from their membership programme. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The latest Project Censored Show features a recording of a panel discussion from this summer's Whistleblower Summit and Film Festival, held in Washington DC. Mickey and Project Censored's Associate Director, Andy Lee Roth, moderated a discussion with journalist Kevin Gosztola and Rebecca Vincent of Reporters Without Borders. This panel, "Guilty of Journalism: The Political Case Against Julian Assange" examined how the imprisonment and prosecution of Assange for his work with WikiLeaks will have a negative impact on journalists and publishers. The final ten minutes of the show is an update with Kevin Gosztola explaining to Mickey the latest developments in the Assange extradition case. Notes: Kevin Gosztola is an independent journalist, and the publisher of ShadowProof. He's also the author of "Guilty of Journalism: the Political Case Against Julian Assange," to be published in early 2023 by The Censored Press. Rebecca Vincent works at Reporters Without Borders, a non-profit organization that advocates for press freedom worldwide.
Conservative MP Cherilyn Mackrory says her constituents aren't entirely prepared for the energy crisis made worse by the invasion of Ukraine but they are anxious about the war and are not taking their freedoms for granted. Plus, Rebecca Vincent from Reporters Without Borders says Russian forces in Ukraine are targeting journalists and shooting to kill. Vincent tells Bloomberg Westminster's Caroline Hepker and Yuan Potts the Kremlin is trying to completely isolate Russians from independent information.

SLAPPs or Strategic Lawsuits against Public Participation are lawsuits that are designed not to win in court but rather to silence, intimidate and bankrupt the defendants. Over the past years, this type of vexatious litigation has become a tool to stifle independent journalists all over the world, especially those who write about the rich and powerful. London had a reputation for being a “libel capital” for a while and the Defamation Act of 2013 did very little to change it. This new episode of Trouble with the Truth unpacks the term SLAPPs and takes a look at how defamation suits are being used to gag free media. Our guest Rebecca Vincent from Reporters without Borders talks about the case of the Guardian journalists Carole Cadwalladr who is being sued for libel by British businessman Aaron Banks. All over twenty-three words that she said at her 2019 Ted Talk. Scott Stedman, the founder of Forensic News, explains why he is being sued in the English Court by a British-Israeli citizen Walter Soriano, although the journalist never stepped foot on the British soil. Finally, Susan Coughtrie from the Foreign Policy Centre outlines the steps taken to tackle the problem of SLAPPs in the UK.
About three and a half years ago, Kris received an email from Rebecca Vincent. She runs a wonderful program in the Vancouver school board called LA LS, which we'll explain in the episode. And she said, Look, I've received some grant funding. Would you like to come in and help out with music in the classroom? And I jumped at the opportunity. That experience changed not just my life, but so many of the teachers on Empower Through Music. We are jazzed about this episode, Rebecca really inspires with her story of how she works with the kids, how we can all improve our self regulation, and how we can better support each other in our community. I think this episode is timely. I think it's so important that we share it. And I just can't wait for our listeners to get to hear Rebecca story and the kids and the LA LS program. You are certainly jazzed up about this you light up every time we talk about it. Let's share it with our listeners. Everyone.

This is our second episode from our new series of interviews with inspiring individuals from across the globe. Our aim with these series is to chat with inspirational guests who can encourage us all to look at the industries we work in (media, comms and tech) from different perspectives. Our guest for this episode is Rebecca Vincent, an American human rights activist and currently Director of International Campaigns and UK Bureau Director for our pro bono client Reporters Without Borders. Based in Paris, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) is an independent NGO with consultative status with the United Nations, UNESCO, the Council of Europe, and the International Organization of the Francophonie (OIF). Its foreign sections, its bureaus in ten cities, including Brussels, Washington, Berlin, Tunis, Rio de Janeiro, and Stockholm, and its network of correspondents in 130 countries give RSF the ability to mobilise support, challenge governments and wield influence both on the ground and in the ministries and precincts where media and Internet standards and legislation are drafted. You should listen to Rebecca Vincent if you want to learn about the work Reporters Without Borders is doing across the world, their World Press Freedom index, the Julian Assange case, and how the state of press freedom stands today. In the interview hosted by Tyto's CEO, Brendon Craigie, she explains why there is a worrying trend of violence against journalists in countries that are meant to be at peace, such as the UK, The Netherlands, Greece, Malta, and more. Countries seen as standard setters in terms of freedom of the press should be doing better, according to Vincent. You can watch the recording on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/M2nOIOFEOJI
Die Journalistin Daphne Caruana Galizia hat den höchsten Preis dafür bezahlt, Korruption bis in die obersten Regierungskreise Maltas aufzudecken – vor vier Jahren, am 16. Oktober 2017, wurde sie am helllichten Tag ermordet. Caroline Muscat, eine enge Freundin, war eine der ersten am Tatort. Sie führte die Recherchen Galizias fort, um ein Signal auszusenden: Selbst wenn man eine Journalistin tötet, werden ihre Geschichten nicht verstummen. Muscat möchte sicherstellen, dass „eine so schreckliche Tat auch etwas Positives bewirkt“, wie sie es ausdrückt. Doch an der vergifteten Atmosphäre in Malta hat sich bis heute nichts geändert: Noch immer sehen sich kritische Medienschaffende mit einem Klima des Hasses, das von führenden politischen Kräften des Landes und ihrer Armee von Internet-Trollen geschürt wird, konfrontiert. Mit dabei im Podcast ist auch Rebecca Vincent, RSF-Direktorin für internationale Kampagnen. Sie war von Anfang an vor Ort in Malta, um für eine vollständige strafrechtliche Verfolgung des Falles und für den Schutz von Journalist*innen zu kämpfen.
The investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia paid the highest price for exposing corruption to the highest levels of government in Malta - She was murdered four years ago, on October 16 in 2017 in broad daylight. Caroline Muscat, one of her close friends, was one of the first people at the crime scene. She continued Galizia's investigations to send out a message: Even if you kill a journalist, the stories will not be silenced. Muscat wants to ensure that “such a horrible act results in something positive”, like she puts it. Yet, the toxic atmosphere in Malta has not changed to this day: Critical journalists still see themselves confronted with a climate of hatred caused by leading political forces and their army of internet trolls. Also taking part in the podcast is Rebecca Vincent, RSF Director of International Campaigns. She has been on the ground in Malta from the beginning to fight for full criminal justice in the case and for the protection of journalists. Caroline Muscat was in Berlin as part of an RSF scholarship.
Laura Tingle has the latest from Canberra, Rebecca Vincent reports from Julian Assange's extradition appeal and Eddie Mueller discusses the endurance of film noir.
John Shipton, the father of persecuted journalist Julian Assange , continues his fierce and fearless advocacy in defense of his son. Mr Shipton blasts the UK and US governments for the abominable, torturous treatment of the Wikileaks founder and laments the ominous , kafkaedque show trial that has dragged on for more than 2 years.Rebecca Vincent is the Director of International Campaigns for Reporters Without Borders, known internationally as Reporters sans frontières (RSF), which works to promote and defend press freedom around the world. She is an American-British human rights campaigner, writer and former diplomat with an expertise in freedom of expression. Rebecca has coordinated a number of high profile international human rights campaigns. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, holds an MA in Human Rights from University College London and has published widely.
On 16th October 2017 Daphne Caruana Galizia sat in her car going about her business. A bomb that had been placed beneath her seat was remotely detonated, ensuring she would never have the chance of doing so again. Her assassins were caught and arrested and tried. Those persons who ordered the killing however, remain unknown…Karin worked for PEN for many years and experienced many difficult stories, some with tragic endings, many ending happily, all desperately important. In this my 50th podcast, Karin details the reasoning behind some of the actions taken by PEN, the need for protecting journalists and writers and the absolute necessity for society to protect these unsung heroes.One such heroine is Rebecca Vincent, Director of International Campaigns and UK Bureau Director at Reporters Without Borders. Through Rebecca's courageous and continued search for justice, I came to be reminded of the tragic tale of Daphne's demise and it became abundantly clear that Daphne's story should become the centrepiece of this podcast.I wish to communicate my greatest respect to journalists such as Rebecca and all those on Malta still fighting for Daphne and I hope that their work will succeed without further pain (Truth and Justice — The Daphne Caruana Galizia Foundation).My thanks as always to Karin, whose patience knows no bounds and whose temperament is much like a summer's day.

I have been following tattoo artist Rebecca Vincent on instagram since I saw a beautiful tattoo which she did for one of my earlier SP interviewees, Sali Hughes. Rebecca's style is usually botanical-inspired pure black ink. She reinvented herself as a tattoo artist when she felt her previous job as a pub landlady didn't fit well with becoming a mum. Her child is now ten and has recently started identifying as non-binary - a decision which Rebecca and husband Lee have welcomed and embraced. She's a lovely woman with a particularly gentle and kind aura for someone who can inflict so much pain - and I'm seriously considering having a second tattoo now!
