A recent report from the research institute Pew shows the extreme crises of American journalists regarding the future of press and speech freedom in the country.
Some alarming figures regarding the future of speech freedom in the US show a staggering 57% of those surveyed voiced significant concern about possible press restrictions. Additionally, 23% of reporters expressed some level of apprehension about the future of their profession. Furthermore, considering various age groups, the fact that 40% plus senior skilled reporters in the age bracket of 60-65 are highly tense about the future of their profession adds concerns to this matter, smudging a notion of uncertainty and fear among those in the occupation.
Interestingly, however, more young journalists seem to be somewhat less alarmed, with only 20% of those in the 18-29 demographic expressing extreme concern and 28% of those aged 30-49 communicating this view. These statistics demonstrate the need for action to protect speech freedom and the part of reporters in society. These numbers paint a stark picture of the anxieties and fears that are prevalent among news reporters within the United States.
When it comes to the year of domination, age is a major convention. In particular, as journalists have greater experience in the domain, a maximum of them express significant anxiety. For instance, for people who worked in this field for five years or shorter, 24% are quite troubled; in contrast, for reporters with 8-10 years of mastery, this figure increases to 28%. In the same way, the proportion of reporters who voice serious anxiety rises to 31% for those with 11 to 20 years of exposure, along with 39% for those with 20 years.
These statistics demonstrate the need for measures to protect freedom of expression and the part of reporters in society.
