Every week, somewhere in the world, a journalist is killed. Because their reporting uncovered a truth that someone wants hidden. Most of the murders are never solved. That their killers go free matters - to all of us. Because investigations are abandoned, power and corruption goes unchallenged – and democracy is weakened.  Killing the Truth explores the cases of four remarkable journalists who paid the ultimate price for their uncompromising pursuit of the truth.  Killing the Truth is a podcast by openDemocracy in partnership with https://www.saferworldforthetruth.com/ (A Safer World for The Truth), and the series will launch the new podcast The openDemocracy Show. Visit http://opendemocracy.net/ (opendemocracy.net) to find out more. Launching on 15 December.
