C64's Plan to Travel to Goma: Analysis

On the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists, Journaliste en danger (JED) warned that the media environment in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is deteriorating. Its annual report, published on November 2 and focused on Ebola rumours and disinformation, describes the pressures media face when covering health crises. JED reported threats, economic pressure and assaults against journalists, including incidents in Mwenga and Kalemie. It called for a national journalist-protection mechanism, investigations into attacks, better access to public data and transparent support for local media.
