Exclusive: Jane Cahane duped into joining website which turned out to be propaganda vehicle, high court hears
A journalist has been awarded over £80,000 in damages against a London-based investigative website and its CEO – a press freedom campaigner – after claiming she was duped into joining the organisation only to find out that it was a propaganda vehicle for the UAE and Egypt.
Jane Cahane said she was told in her
Job interview by Mohamed Fahmy, who was imprisoned in
Egypt for over a year for disseminating “false news” in a case that caused a public outcry, that the Investigative Journal (TIJ) was a publication of independent investigative journalism.
