Review of UK and world papers and coverage of UK and global journalism stories for Journalism History Thursday 29th August 2024.
Journalism is the first draft of history and these daily reports seek to provide an online briefing of the history of journalism for each day featured.
The Chartered Institute of Journalists remembers all the professional journalists and media workers murdered and killed while doing their work this year in all parts of the world and remember the immense sacrifice of those who gave their lives to the profession in the past. We send our condolences to their families, friends and professional colleagues.

The CIoJ is so pleased that Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich has been released. His detention, secret trial and jailing for 16 years were wholly unjustifiable and political state hostage-taking. He had been deprived of his liberty for 491 days since 29th March 2023. Many congratulations to the Wall Street Journal for standing by their journalist and doing everything they could to secure his release and freedom.
The Institute calls on Belarus to release the more than 40 journalists and media workers detained including Maryna Zolatava and Liudmila Chekina each suffering 12 year jail terms. Belarus is currently ranked 167th out of 180 countries in the World Press Freedom Index. See: https://rsf.org/en/country/belarus
The CIoJ calls on all governments and states unjustly detaining journalists for doing their professional work to respect freedom of expression, the right to liberty and free them immediately. See: https://rsf.org/en/new-record-number-journalists-jailed-worldwide
