Today marks the next change for me at the WSJ: I will be moving from DC bureau chief to WSJ assistant editor working full time on the mission to secure the release of our colleague Evan Gershkovich. Let’s hope it is a short-term assignment.

Washington Post contributing columnist Jamal Khashoggi was a champion for democracy and believed in holding the powerful to account. For this, he was murdered five years ago. Journalists should not fear for their lives for reporting the truth and must be protected.

On August 11, police in Marion, Kansas, executed a search warrant at the Marion County Record’s newsroom. The county attorney later acknowledged there was insufficient evidence to support the warrant and police raid. A search of a newspaper office is an attack on democracy.
