Today, anyone with an iPhone can provide firsthand accounts from the world’s front lines.

However, threats to journalists are mounting with record numbers killed and imprisoned each year. From the drug wars of Mexico to Iraq and Tahrir Square, Joel Simon explores the new challenges and dangers to the future of journalistic freedom.

Praise for The New Censorship: Inside the Global Battle for Media Freedom


"From his vantage point as director of the Committee to Protect Journalists, Joel Simon has worked tirelessly to get kidnapped or imprisoned reporters freed. He’s campaigned globally for justice in cases of murdered journalists. In The New Censorship, he warns us of new threats – like the insidious information management techniques of “democratators” Vladimir Putin and Recip Tayyip Erdogan. Simon’s prescriptions for how to counter these new challenges are wise and insightful. He offers hope to all who care about maintaining the free flow of information in a world full of would-be censors."—Ann Cooper, Columbia Journalism School
