Update: The U.S. State Department said that Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkivich has been “wrongfully detained,” a determination that makes his case a higher priority by the government.
“Today, Secretary Blinken made a determination that Evan Gershkovich is wrongfully detained by Russia,” State Department principal deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel said in a statement. “Journalism is not a crime. We condemn the Kremlin’s continued repression of independent voices in Russia, and its ongoing war against the truth.”
“The U.S. government will provide all appropriate support to Mr. Gershkovich and his family. We call for the Russian Federation to immediately release Mr. Gershkovich.”
Gershkovich was charged with espionage last week and denied his guilty in court, according to Tass news agency. He was detained March 29 during a reporting trip to the city of Yekaterinburg.

More than 280 journalists at The Wall Street Journal and parent company Dow Jones have a difference on opinion.
In a letter sent to Dow Jones CEO Almar Latour, the editors, reporters and others protested what they termed the spread of “misinformation” in the WSJ opinion section.
The WSJ dustup comes just weeks after a similar uprising at the New York Times over an opinion piece by Republican Sen. Tom Cotton, which called for federal troops to stop nationwide protests. The fallout after it ran saw Opinion Editor James Bennet resign, followed by columnist Bari Weiss, who condemned the paper’s “Illiberal environment.”
At the WSJ, the employee letter called for a clearer firewall between the news and opinion divisions.
“Opinion’s lack of fact-checking and transparency, and its apparent disregard for evidence, undermine our readers’ trust and our ability to gain credibility with sources,” the letter states. “Many readers already...
