Free Speech Under Fire

 On Tuesday, March 25th, Tech Policy Press hosted a webinar discussion to talk shop with others on the tech and democracy beat. We gathered seven colleagues from around the world to explore how tech journalists are grappling with the current political moment in the United States and beyond. In this episode, you'll hear the first session of the day, which features a discussion with Michael Masnick from Techdirt, Vittoria Elliot from Wired, and Emmanuel Maiberg from 404 Media.

This session explored the intersection of technology and the current political situation in the US. Key questions included:

• How are tech journalists addressing the current situation, and why is their perspective so crucial?
• What critical questions are journalists covering the intersection of tech and democracy currently asking?
• How does the field approach reporting on anti-democratic phenomena and the challenges journalists face in this work?
