In just one week, from May 29 - June 4, 2020 more reporters were arrested in the United States than in the previous three years combined, according to the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker, which watchdogs burgeoning attacks against the press in this country.
Join us for Voices from the Home Front, a virtual conversation with journalists who themselves have made news this year as the victims of violence and harassment.
