Endangered, a new HBO Original documentary, highlights the dangers facing journalists in the era of ‘fake news’ and misinformation
Two hundred and thirty one years after freedom of the press was enshrined as a fundamental right in the first amendment to the US constitution, a new HBO Original documentary, Endangered, puts a harrowing spotlight on the challenges facing news outlets and journalists in the era of “fake news” and misinformation.
The film chronicles a year in the life of four journalists as they go about their daily work in democratic countries where, not so long ago, press freedoms were taken for granted. The four include Oliver Laughland, the Guardian’s US southern bureau chief, who is tracked as he reports from Donald Trump rallies and is confronted by white supremacists.

Telling the truth has become a dangerous business in an era where politicians now frequently stoke anger towards “fake news,” as they often brand any reportage that doesn’t flatter them. All this is occurring at a time when professional outlets and standards continue to diminish, their existence eroded by competition from newer platforms where opinion and rumor often supplant factual reality.
