Are governments finding new ways to suppress the media?

The Committee to Protect Journalists says 259 journalists were imprisoned around the world last year

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) says Egypt is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists.

Last year, Egypt jailed 25 reporters, including Al Jazeera's Mahmoud Hussein, who is awaiting trial on charges of spreading false news.

Al Jazeera denies the allegations and is demanding his immediate release.

The CPJ says technologies like social media and surveillance have led to a rise in killings and imprisonment of reporters around the world.
