Endangered

- I think the greatest thing is the newspaper business.

I think you really feel that you can go out every day

and ask proper questions to people in power.

- Real question here is, what is the role

of the newspaper in this society

and the role of the young reporter

in this society?

The press is the enemy.

The press is the enemy.

No reporter from "The Washington Post"

is ever to be in the White House.

- Had it not been for two young reporters

of "The Washington Post,"

Richard Nixon might still be president.

- A lot of young people write to me and say,

"Gee, I want to be a reporter as well."

- You cannot have a healthy democracy

unless you have freedom of the press.

- Press freedom should be the concern

of every human being.

Freedom of speech,

freedom of the press:

isn't that an ideal we can all agree on?

Bolsonaro!

No! No!

Brazil is a young democracy.

We don't have very strong and established

checks and balances,

so freedom of the press is fragile.

- Two years ago, I covered President Bolsonaro's

illegal attempt to influence the election.

But since he became president,

he has started to attack specific journalists

and specific media outlets.

So for half the Brazilian population,

I am a whore

who trades sex for information.

- It's the president of a country

saying that a journalist wanted to give her "hole"

in exchange for information against him,

and it's part of the strategy

to discredit journalists and especially women.

It's like everybody feels authorized to harass me.

"Prostitute called Patrícia Campos Mello

works in the whorehouse Folha de Sao Paulo."

"Sex in journalism."

"Everything for a hole. Do you want my hole?"

Random people sending me messages

saying, "So how much do you charge to fuck me?"

"You should be raped."

"We Bolsonarians do not accept prostitution

in our ranks."

They're spreading stuff that is gonna be forever

in the internet.

Ah.

How many jobs you got?

You need seven jobs not to be lazy.

- A thousand. - A thousand jobs?

Give me one job that you do every day.

- Cook. - You cook?

And how many jobs do you think I have?

Come on. - Three?

Really?

You think I only have three jobs?

You know who has a lot of jobs? Squirrels got a lot of jobs.

You know why?

They always look like they're busy.

Hey, Orlando. - Carl, question.

Apparently, there's a protest at 3:30.

Yeah?

- I think you'd better stay there...

- Okay. - Depending on what happens.

- All right, let me go and check it.

- Okay, thanks, Carl. - All right, no problem.

- Thanks. Bye. - Mm-hmm. Bye-bye.

Come on, Milesy. Papa gotta go to work.

George Floyd! - Say his name!

George Floyd! - Say his name!

George Floyd! - Say his name!

George Floyd! - Say his name!

George Floyd! - Say his name!

George Floyd!

- What do we want? Justice!

- When do we want it? Now!

- If we can't get it... Shut it down!

If we can't get it...

Shut it down!

If we can't get it...

Shut it down!

Whose streets?

Our streets! - Whose streets?

Our streets! - No justice!

No peace!

- No justice! No peace!

No justice!

No peace! - No justice!

No peace!

- If we don't get it... Shut it down!

If we don't get it...

Shut it down!

- Hey, I'm just keeping an eye on this.

The police department dispatched a patrol unit,

and they have a couple of officers

in unmarked cars and ATVs.

- Okay, thanks, Carl. - All right? No problem.

- Arms up! Don't shoot!

- Arms up! Don't shoot!

- Arms up! Don't shoot!

Oh, shit.

You must leave the area,

or you are subject to arrest.

Failure to comply with this order

will subject you to arrest.

Do you have anything?

If you can pick just, like, one, that's great.

- Okay, want me to do it right now? Okay.

- And then we can get it online.

- No problem. I'll do it-- - Yeah, get it right now.

It's all right.

Just bear with me, all right?

What you doing, son?

Just chillaxing.

- Chillaxing? - Yeah.

- All right, you cool? - Mm.

All right.

Yeah, go ahead, Orlando.

Are you out on the street?

- No, and I'm doing something for Nick.

They need a time stamp of one of the pictures I shot

during Fort Lauderdale.

Apparently, the police gave some false reports

about this protest,

and my picture might be able to contradict

whatever they said.

- No problem, thanks. - Okay, brother.

It's this one here.

The police said that there was a distress call

around 6:50:34,

and that is not the case

because they're already out.

They already was engaging with the crowd.

By now, we have tear gas being sent out.

People running.

This journalist got caught up in it.

As journalists, we can't let the truth down.

We are moderators of fact.

We're moderators of falsehoods.

And this is why newspapers like the "Herald"

are so darn important.

Because, you know,

you have to begin to believe in what you see

and what you hear.

And the last 15 years, 20 years,

you're beginning to doubt the very thing that you're--

that you're watching and hearing.

No.

Good morning, everybody.

Let's get started.

- We have an update from Mexico?

Yes, good morning.

Ongoing protests against police violence in Mexico.

The local police are using very, very severe terror

on journalists in order to block

any kind of information getting out there

that might affect them.

A photographer was murdered brutally here in Mexico.

We still don't know why.

The investigation was never done properly.

And that would be the third incident

in the past four weeks.

- Well, look, I think we're at a critical moment.

Are we talking to the people on the ground there?

- Yes. It's a very scary situation.

And as a result, you know, there are entire areas

basically turning into silent zones

where traditional newspapers

are stopping their publications altogether.

That is a very bad sign.

- But this is happening, you know, widespread also.

Harassment, threats, everything.

- In India, the government has tried

to blackmail news organizations,

and they're trying to track down people

based on their mobile signals.

- In Belarus, four journalists are in jail

for covering rallies in support

of an opposition candidate.

- We had two journalists killed yesterday.

One in Kenya, another in Somalia.

- The journalist Sajid Hussain's body

was found in a river in Sweden.

It's not clear how he ended up there,

and I've been in touch with the family

to try to figure that out.

- Governments attacking journalists is not new,

but it's getting worse.

We're seeing record numbers of journalists

in prisons around the world.

We're seeing the full power of the states deployed,

you know, against journalists like,
