This article discusses how Four journalists have been charged with felonies after being arrested while covering the unrest around Donald Trump’s inauguration, and how at least six media workers are facing up to 10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine if convicted. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) made a statement saying that charges against journalists who were covering the protests should be dropped. Carlos Lauría, the CPJ’s senior Americas program coordinator has said that “These charges are clearly inappropriate, and we are concerned that they could send a chilling message to journalists covering future protests,”

Journalists should be protected at all costs to provide their audiences with honest and good quality journalism, as these protests should not be ignored.
