Censored Stories on Covid-19

A worlwide media blackout threat
The more Covid-19 has spread throughout the world, the more censorship has gained ground. Journalists have had to fight to exercise their profession as they cover one of the largest public health crises in modern history.
For authoritarian regimes, preserving their image during this crisis is paramount, and when journalists have questioned the official statistics — particularly death counts — the response has been swift and harsh: threats, arrests, even disappearances of journalists.
Forbidden Stories is telling the stories of the journalists — from Asia to South America to Europe — at the heart of this numbers battle.
