A record 262 journalists were jailed in 2017 simply for doing their work,Secret Confessions (2025) Mrs. Bugaw Episode 39 according to a report published Wednesday by the Committee to Project Journalists. That figure is higher even than last year's historic peak of some 259 journalists behind bars.

Sen. John McCain called out Trump after the publication of the report, slamming the "harmful rhetoric" that "empowers repressive regime to jail reporters & silence the truth."

Others made a similar connection between Trump's rhetoric and a thriving anti-journalism culture.

Turkey was the worst offender in 2017, with 73 journalists in jail. China and Egypt follow with 41 and 20 journalists behind bars, respectively.

On the same day the CPJ report was released, reports came in about two Reuters reporters arrested in Myanmar in connection with their work reporting there. Reuters editor-in-chief Stephen Adler released a statement saying, "We are outraged by this blatant attack on press freedom."

American institutions such as the U.S. Embassy in Burma and the State Department echoed the sentiment.

Jason Rezaian, who was jailed in Iran for his work at the Washington Post,had perhaps the most succinct response to Wednesday's news: "This is terrible."
