Reporters Without Borders head on group’s list of ‘press freedom predators’

The director general of Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has spoken to FRANCE 24 about the “series of crises” affecting journalism. Thibaut Bruttin hit out at the “return of violence against journalists” and the “erosion of support” for the protection of journalism. Bruttin was speaking to us to mark the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists. This year, his organisation is unveiling what it calls a list of 34 “press freedom predators” who attacked journalists and the right to information in 2025.
