Journalists often think that to be good at their jobs, they have to be constantly available and sacrifice their private life. In #Portugal, almost 3/4 of journalists says that the demands of the job make it difficult to find a work-life balance.

Do you recognise yourself in this situation?

🔴 In two years of war, over 223 Palestinian journalists have been killed in #Gaza in the deadliest period in the history of journalism. As journalists, unionists and, ultimately, humans, we cannot accept that reporters are killed amid indifference, be that in Gaza or elsewhere.
