Covering Protests: Journalists Under Attack

As protests against the police killing of George Floyd – and killings of other black Americans – sweep across the United States, journalists covering the unrest have found themselves repeatedly targeted. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) cites at least 125 press freedom violations in the U.S., including attacks by police with rubber bullets and pepper spray, since May 29.
