A mission to inform : Daphne Caruana Galizia speaks out

Abstract

The interview with Daphne Caruana Galizia in this publication is an abridged version of the original which was recorded in audio on 6 October 2017. The interview was conducted for a scientific qualitative study which set out to gain a more complete understanding of the forms of intimidation and harassment experienced by journalists working in countries across the Council of Europe region through 20 in-depth interviews, conducted face to face. The results of the study are documented in the Council of Europe’s publication A mission to inform – Journalists at risk speak out, authored by the undersigned. In that book, excerpts from each of the 20 interviews are cited and the personal narratives are closely analysed to provide an evidence-based account of the nature of the pressures and threats faced by many journalists in Europe.
