Reuters Institute Chair Helen Boaden Warns of External Threats to Journalism and Press Freedom

Reuters Institute Chair Helen Boaden Warns of External Threats to Journalism and Press Freedom

Helen Boaden, Chair of the Reuters Institute's Steering Committee, has issued a stark warning regarding the increasing external threats faced by journalism and press freedom globally. In her note from the Annual Report 2025-26, Boaden highlights that democratic norms and the rule of law no longer guarantee press freedom, and journalism itself is under siege. She points to the significant influence of billionaire technologists in shaping how audiences engage with news and notes the growing pressure on journalists as autocracies now outnumber democracies worldwide. Boaden referenced Carlos Dada, the 2026 Reuters Memorial Lecturer and co-founder of El Faro, who was forced to flee El Salvador due to repression. Dada's lecture, 'Journalism as Resistance,' underscored the need for funding, technology, audience trust, and formidable personal and organizational resilience for independent journalism to survive in autocratic environments. Boaden concluded that journalism and journalists must become tougher as global...

U.S. Mint's 1965-1967 Kennedy Half Dollars: A Unique Chapter in Coinage History Amidst Silver Shortage

U.S. Mint's 1965-1967 Kennedy Half Dollars: A Unique Chapter in Coinage History Amidst Silver Shortage

From 1965 to 1967, the United States Mint produced a distinctive series of Kennedy half dollars as part of Special Mint Sets (SMS), following the temporary cessation of traditional Proof sets. This period was marked by significant changes in American coinage, including the disappearance of mintmarks and a reduction in silver content due to rising silver prices and public demand. The Coinage Act of 1965 eliminated silver from dimes and quarters and reduced the Kennedy half dollar's silver content from 90% to 40%. To address a coin shortage and redirect resources towards circulating coinage, the Mint suspended annual Proof and Uncirculated sets. As a compromise for collectors, the San Francisco Assay Office produced SMS coins using specially prepared dies and high-tonnage presses, resulting in coins with better relief and more attractive surfaces than ordinary circulation strikes, though not the full finish of traditional Proofs. Notably, the 1965-dated SMS coins were actually struck in 1966. These sets, whi...
