FREEDOM OF JOURNALISM IN INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW

摘要

The killing of Khashoggi has brought attention to global attacks on journalism as well as the international law protections for freedom of journalism. That individual freedom increasingly should be seen as distinct from an institutional media or press right, in part because media organizations may not be sufficiently independent from economic and political perspectives. The freedom of journalism should be further developed in international law and commentary. At this point, the freedom involves certain specific journalistic rights including source confidentiality, non-discriminatory credentialing or accreditation and unrestricted movement within and across national borders.
