Journalists across the world being jailed

It is important to know what is going on in the world around us. Journalists who are brave enough to travel to places with a strong military presence or radicals are putting their life on the line to make sure we know the truth. A little over a year ago there were two journalists, Wa Lone, and Kyaw Soe Oo were jailed for 7 years because they were carrying papers about a story, they were writing on the Rohingya massacre. A lot of blame is put on the president because he "uses language like 'fake news' to describe the work of the national news networks...This rhetoric by the US president is encouraging every dictator to jail journalists, not only activists, not only those who are fighting for the environment or press freedom or any important cause, and that's happening across the world."  This article has a few pictures and is mostly black and white. I think the importance of this article is to get the word out and try to make an impact and is almost like a cry for help for traveling journalists.
