United States: Women Press Freedom Condemns Violent Attack and Verbal Abuse Directed at Tatum Miller

October 4, 2024 - United States, North Dakota, Fargo 

Women Press Freedom vehemently condemns the appalling assault on KVLY-TV reporter Tatum Miller, who was physically attacked and subjected to verbal aggression while preparing for an interview in downtown Fargo, North Dakota. The incident is a blatant violation of press freedom and an affront to the rights of journalists to carry out their essential work without fear of harm.

Miller's harrowing experience underscores the alarming risks that journalists, particularly women journalists, face in the field. No journalist should ever be subjected to such reprehensible behavior while fulfilling their professional duties. 

Women Press Freedom calls for swift and decisive action to be taken to ensure the safety and well-being of journalists like Tatum Miller. We urge authorities to thoroughly investigate this incident and hold the perpetrator accountable.
