CPJ staff were shocked, like everyone else, to hear about the brutal beheading of journalist #JamesFoley in #Syria. Weve already noted that Foley went to Syria to show the plight of the Syrian people, to bear witness to their fight, and in so doing to fight for press freedom. However, you should know that it isnt only foreign correspondents who are at risk there. Local journalists in Syria are operating in the same environment. In our latest alert, we identify seven of the many journalists CPJ believes to be held by #IslamicState.
