Harry Lawty in Words of War
Anna Politkovskaya's fearless reporting cost her life—but long before that, it cost her peace. Her family bore the weight of her bravery.
Behind every truth-telling journalist is a family that lives in fear and endures absence. Still, they persist—because the truth demands it.

It’s about a dictator wannabe who thinks he has the right to bully, extort and blackmail ANYONE with zero accountability.

A graphic with the CPJ logo above the title, “Trump’s regulatory investigations against media organizations.” The image reads, “The FCC under the second Trump administration has launched an unprecedented number of regulatory investigations against news organizations, often citing false or exaggerated claims about their coverage. CPJ has compiled an overview of major investigations, grouped by alleged violation.” The graphic shows five columns to group the outlets by alleged violation: On air advertisements: NPR and PBS; DEI policies: NBC and ABC; Equal time rule: NBC; Alleged news distortion: CBS News/60 Minutes.
