Roula Khalaf
Financial Times editor Roula Khalaf called for action to stop the intimidation of journalists in a speech this week, reports Bron Maher of Press Gazette.
Maher writes, “According to Khalaf: ‘From autocracies to illiberal democracies and unfortunately even thriving democracies, journalists are maligned and manipulated, harassed and intimidated…
“‘Our experience at the FT starkly illustrates the enabling nature of our system to exert pressure on public interest journalism and the threat that is ominously close to home.’
“Khalaf described the FT’s experience breaking the Wirecard scandal – which saw the journalist leading the coverage, Dan McCrum, subjected to smear campaigns, doctored chat logs and private investigators.
“McCrum won the Journalist of the Year prize at the British Journalism Awards in 2020 for his work on the investigation.”
