The Journal has called the arrest of Gershkovich, who is accredited to work as a journalist in Russia by the country’s foreign ministry, “a vicious affront to a free press” and said it “should spur outrage in all free people and governments throughout the world. No reporter should ever be detained for simply doing their job.”
To raise awareness about Gershkovich’s detention, the Journal is highlighting his reporting, as well as a profile of the 31-year-old reporter, a collection of his dispatches from on the ground and a video of his colleagues speaking about his gift for covering Russia.
