Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

U.S. Journalist Deported from Yemen

HeadlineMay 09, 2014

A U.S. journalist who has reported from Yemen for the past three years has been deported from the country. Adam Baron, who writes for McClatchy and The Christian Science Monitor, was deported a day after the United States temporarily closed its embassy in Sana’a over security fears. Iona Craig, who writes for The Times of London, tweeted Thursday, “There’s only one foreign journalist officially left in #Yemen. That’s me. Just waiting for the soldiers to come knocking.” Craig said while other journalists may be in Yemen, she and Baron were the only ones with official journalist visas.
