Joint statement of the News Media Alliance, America’s Newspapers and the National Newspaper Association — Journalists have been risking their lives to report on the ground at the scenes of protests across the country in response to the death of George Floyd. These journalists are serving a critical role in providing information the public needs to know in order to stay informed about what is happening in their communities, as well as to keep them and their families safe. In some cities, there have been reports of journalists being attacked and harassed by law enforcement while trying to do their jobs.
