My @washingtonpost colleague @danapriest is selling these bracelets right now with the names of imprisoned journalists on them to support @pressfreedom. It’s part of the @PressUncuffed campaign. I was once the name on one of those bracelets. #WorldPressFreedomDay

I’m pleased to announce that, starting today, I’ll be joining @CNN as a Global Affairs Analyst. The opportunity to weigh in on important news and issues for both the @washingtonpost and @cnn during these times is one that I could have hardly imagined not too long ago.
