""…interesting and comprehensive and offers compelling insights into the struggles and persecution faced by international journalists, as well as the methods used to uncover truths. Silenced reads like a psychological thriller too engrossing to put down complete with police corruption, drug trafficking, murder, embezzlement and war. It is a story of briefings and press releases, unwritten newsroom rules, unpopular editorial decisions and (ineffective) freedom of information laws. It is about protecting sources or facing jail time. It is about silencing and unsilencing and the risk of both. Most importantly, Silenced is about the horror of seeing it all and the power of reporting it.” - Clamor “This hard-hitting collection shows that pressure and persecution are still inescapable aspects of a journalist’s job description ... a vigorous defense of press freedoms by journalists who are unafraid to confront the powers that be.” - Publishers Weekly
