"Condé Nast Union Strike: Anne Hathaway's Stand and Celebrity Reactions"

Over 400 employees at 12 Condé Nast magazines, including Vogue and Vanity Fair, staged a one-day strike to protest management's handling of ongoing labor negotiations and layoffs. The walkout, marked by picketing and red-carpet symbolism, aimed to draw attention to the company's alleged violations of labor laws and reduced severance offers.

Rising Death Toll: Journalists Under Fire in Gaza

The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) has expressed deep concern over the unprecedented number of media professionals killed while doing their jobs in 2023, with Israel's war with Hamas claiming more journalists than any conflict in over 30 years. So far this year, 94 journalists have been killed and nearly 400 others imprisoned, up from 67 deaths in the same period last year. The IFJ called for better protection for media workers and accountability for their attackers, highlighting the need for a new global standard for their protection. The organization also deplored media deaths in Ukraine, Afghanistan, the Philippines, India, China, and Bangladesh, and urged governments to shed light on these crimes and ensure the safety of journalists.

Rising Journalist Deaths in Israel-Gaza Conflict Demand Immediate Action

The Gaza-Israel conflict has become the deadliest for journalists since 1992, with at least 39 journalists and media workers killed in the past month. While most victims are Palestinian journalists killed in Israeli attacks, there have also been cases of journalists being targeted, harassed, and threatened by Israeli authorities. The high rate of journalist fatalities hampers the ability to gather accurate information and exposes the public to propaganda. The United Nations' Plan of Action on the Safety of Journalists has not been effective in preventing journalist deaths, and if Israel is indeed targeting journalists, it would constitute a war crime.
