When police arrested photojournalist Amber Bracken while she was reporting, it became a test of press freedom in Canada. Her case with The Narwhal could shape how safely journalists cover protests, injunctions and police actions nationwide. Why it matters: buff.ly/kcKi8xl #pressfreedom

la lutte pour la liberté de la presse n’a jamais été aussi urgente
La liberté de la presse s’effrite quand des journalistes sont réduits au silence, intimidés ou emprisonnés pour avoir dit la vérité.
Soutenir la liberté de la presse, c’est soutenir la démocratie au Canada et ailleurs dans le monde.
Faites un don aujourd’hui.
