Al Jazeera English’s Giles Trendle on media freedom

In the run-up to Earth Day on 22 April and World Press Freedom Day on 25 April, Giles Trendle, Managing Director of Al Jazeera English, has released a video talking about the vital importance of journalism.

“Journalists have a critical role to play in covering the climate emergency,” says Trendle. “Yet journalists cannot play this crucial civic role if our reporters are being killed, our offices bombed, and our freedom to publish and broadcast trampled.”
