“Red Alert for green journalism – 10 environmental reporters killed in five years!

To mark “Earth Overshoot Day,” which lands on 22 August this year, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) is publishing alarming statistics about journalists who cover environmental stories. At least ten have been killed in the past five years, while more than 50 press freedom violations linked to environment journalism have been registered during the same period…

Because of his coverage of the human suffering resulting from the pollution caused by international oil company operations (link to forsouthsudan.com!) in South Sudan, Nation Media Group reporter Joseph Oduha was harassed, detained, tortured and accused of “endangering national security” before finally fleeing the country in 2019.”
