GENEVA (AN) — Democracies are battered by growing polarization among citizens fueled by Fox News-like opinion media and the spread of disinformation and propaganda, Reporters Without Borders said on Tuesday in a report launched to coincide with World Press Freedom Day.
At a ceremony to mark the occasion, U.N. human rights chief Michelle Bachelet warned against nations increasingly resorting to surveillance to prevent journalists from shedding light on wrongdoing.
