Journalists under pressure amid erosion of press freedom: Google News Lab

Google is seeing more and more pressure on journalists and the erosion of press freedom not only in Asia, but globally.

According to Irene Jay Liu who leads Google News Lab, part of the Google News Initiative (GNI), despite this, there’s a strong sense of mission and purpose that the work needs to be done.

“What has always amazed me is how newsrooms here are willing to collaborate with Google, and each other, to problem-solve and innovate. There’s this agility that’s really inspiring,” Liu said in a Google blog post with David Zuckerman, Content, Google News Initiative.
