#Uchicago President is claiming the Palestinian Solidarity Encampment is causing disruptions to classroom learning. As a U of C professor, I do not believe this. I have taught on campus all week, within shouting distance of the quad, with no disruptions at all.

Marking a somber World Press Freedom Day this year. Remembering all the valiant journalists struggling and dying to tell the story, especially in Gaza.

'The world hasn’t seen anything like the unprecedented destruction of housing in Gaza since World War II.' The Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocols of 1977 were supposed to stop repetition, but Israel ignores them.

On #WorldPressFreedomDay we commemorate & honor the over 1,500 journalists who have been killed since 1992, dedicating their lives to the public interest & the right to inform.

Seen here is a memorial shown at the Exhibition 2024 with Free Press Unlimited, Committee to Protect Journalists & RSF.

It's World Press Freedom Day. And nobody deserves our respect, solidarity and admiration today more than the brave and determined journalists of Gaza. We would be blind without them and they are the best of us.

Freedom of expression, including media freedom, is a human right!

On #WorldPressFreedomDay , we encourage governments around the world to stand up for a free press. #WPFD2024
