But the Norwegian Nobel Committee has just sent a strong message to those fighting for the freedom of expression. It has awarded this year's Nobel Peace Prize to journalists Maria Ressa of the Philippines and Dmitry Muratov of Russia. Ressa was recognised for her coverage of President Rodrigo Duterte's campaign against drugs. While Muratov was singled out for his work at the independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta. But with journalists increasingly being targeted, how do we protect press freedom?
