On this World Press Freedom Day, we remember our colleagues killed in the line of duty and those who remain imprisoned around the world.

Today is the start of our multi-day hearing with the NLRB to prove to @DowJones and @WSJ that photo editors belong in the union. Show your support by reposting in solidarity! (and send us memes — we love labor memes!)
Mahmoud Darwish, opened at random: Each war teaches us to love nature more: after the siege we care more for irises. We pick tenderness from almond trees in March. We plant gardenias in marble… Wars teach us to taste the air and praise the water. From Arabic by Fady Joudah

“As children, the drag queens of Beirut didn’t have to look far for inspiration. Finding extravagant high femme performance could be as easy as going to a family wedding, walking down the street and (especially) watching TV of the Arab world.” nytimes.com/interactive/2022…

We asked the WSJ Photo Editors: What benefits do you want to receive by joining the union? The results, well, they speak for themselves. 🧵 [1/5]
