Does anyone think this might be because the UK has such a terrible record on the free press front in recent months? Such a shame if it is costing UK papers serious talent (which I would not be surprised at).
I mean why the hell work for a UK paper when you could work somewhere else given we have the internet now.
- lostlogin 13y agoWhere is good? A friend who works for Al-Jazzera recently described going through customs in Israel and the US. It's blatant intimidation as far as I see it. Kids with gun holding him in hot rooms while interrogating him when in Israel and only a little better when in the US. Given the way most countries kowtow to the US and Britain, where could one work from without problem? And even then journalists usually need to travel and you're back at the mercy of other countries.
