The declaration of the Law to Protect Journalists is encouraging, but not enough. The first need is a clear definition of protection — digital harassment, illegal surveillance, pressure to publish sources and professional obstacles.

Secondly, the prosecution and investigation system should be free of political or administrative influence. The law will be restricted to paper if there are no requirements for specific dates, witnesses, protection and freedom of expression.

Third, the ethics of journalism and questions are equally important. If the culture of independent editorial policies, information testing and correcting culture is strong, security and public safety will increase both.
