amandasattic 10th Apr 2020		Time magazine's Person of the Year award was shared by four journalists and one news organization. Jamal Khashoggi, whose picture is on the cover of the magazine, was a journalist in Saudi Arabia for decades before fleeing to the U.S.A. in 2017. In columns for the Washington Post, he criticized the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, for his quest for total power and suppression of free speech. On October 2, Khashoggi was murdered in Istanbul, Turkey, by agents of Saudi Arabia. Two journalists who reported for the Reuters news service, Kyaw Soe Oo and Wa Lone, were both sentenced to seven years in prison following a trial in Yangon, Myanmar. for reporting on the mass execution of 10 members of a minority group, Rohingya Muslims, by Myanmar's military. Maria Ressa, the founder and editor of a Philippine news site, Rappler, was also recognized. She has reported on the propaganda and extrajudicial killings by that country's president, Rodrigo Duterte. In response, she has faced government lawsuits and violent hate messages--as many as 90 an hour--and most recently, tax-fraud charges that would carry jail sentences of up to 10 years. Also honored was the staff of one of America's oldest newspapers, the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland. In June a gunman who did not like how he was covered in the newspaper, walked into its newsroom and killed five staff members. But while the newspaper's loss was immense and personal, the rest of the staff still put the paper out that day.
