A government-backed study reveals that a third of UK journalists have altered their reporting due to safety concerns, with self-censorship on topics like rightwing protests, Donald Trump’s administration, and trans issues. The findings highlight risks being normalized in newsrooms, leading to a 'narrowing of the public conversation'.
