Press freedom is facing intensifying scrutiny in various Indian courts, marking a notably active period for legal battles over journalistic rights. On Sept. 6, a Delhi civil court granted billionaire Gautam Adani sweeping power to gag journalists by way of an ex parte injunction — a court order issued without hearing the defendant’s side. The order was challenged and, temporarily, stayed; nevertheless, the effort to exert such power sets a concerning precedent. Before newsrooms could ac...| Nieman Reports
Shrouq Aila, a freelance journalist based in central Gaza, navigates a city under siege with her toddler by her side to tell the world what’s happening. She does this while she slowly starves. Aila weighed 62 kilograms — approximately 137 pounds — in October 2023. Today, she weighs 47 kilos — or just over 100 pounds. She has been displaced from her home, narrowly survived two deadly airstrikes when her daughter was just an infant, and continues reporting even as famine and exhaustio...| Nieman Reports
On a typical evening in the heart of Paris, Taha Siddiqui can be found at his bar, greeting customers and pouring drinks. During busy nights, he’s organizing events there, with an Afghan poet reading her work, anti-war Russian musicians in a punk band, or a director sharing their documentary — all, like him, finding refuge in France. But long before he became a bar owner, Siddiqui was one of Pakistan’s most high-profile investigative journalists, determined to expose corruption and go...| Nieman Reports

On Sept. 10, I found myself watching a scene I never thought I’d witness in Nepal. Not on television, not via state broadcasters, not even on the YouTube channels of established media outlets, but on a Facebook Live stream. Tens of thousands of Nepali youths had convened on Discord — a platform better known for video gamers than for governance — to choose who should lead the country as prime minister. For two days, the streets of Kathmandu and dozens of Nepali cities had been roiled by ...| Nieman Reports

I spent almost two decades in journalism, mostly doing long-form investigations for television in my native Poland. A few years ago, I decided to leave the TV station for a job as Google’s main trainer for the media in Central and Eastern Europe. My job involved running workshops for journalists, mainly on advanced search techniques, verification and fact-checking, and working with data, among other things. It was a pleasant experience but a fixed-term contract. When it ended, I had to figu...| Nieman Reports
This photograph happened while I was working on a story on Indigenous conservation in North Greenland. Qillaq Kristiansen is a narwhal hunter, one of the best in the community. To manage the narwhal population in a community that also subsists on them, he practices both cultural and ecological conservation by using the traditional methods of hunting by kayak and hand-thrown harpoons. I was out on the sea ice with Qillaq on the two days all spring when the sea ice conditions were favorable f...| Nieman Reports
