It is ‘deeply troubling’ that FBI agents who questioned Bryan Carmody did not abide by rules intended to protect journalists.

The Reporters Committee obtained the police memo through a public records request.

The third annual report highlights many threats against journalists, including physical attacks, subpoenas and searches and seizures.

RCFP has pursued records related to the FBI’s presence at the raid that sparked outrage among press freedom advocates.
