6 vehicles were burnt outside Sam Carson’s house where a number of his tenants live. Police say it was a racially motivated attack. Sam told me “Some people in Ballymena do not like foreign nationals, even though they are good working people, they don't understand that”

Freelancers report with the fewest resources and with a heightened risk to their own safety, and in 2024 accounted for one in three killings, an unprecedented increase in our history. The majority were Palestinians reporting from Gaza, where international media continue to be barred from reporting from the occupied Palestinian territory. CPJ calls on news organizations to treat freelancers and staff equally in regard to safety and support, including ensuring freelancers receive the same level of holistic safety, first aid training, and relevant safety equipment.
