Editor’s note
A New Epoch here at The Epoch Times, I want to thank you for becoming a subscriber to INSIGHT. We are thrilled to offer this new product. In this magazine, you can expect each week to read in-depth news and analysis on the most pressing issues around the world. It is the culmination of two decades of Epoch Times journalism and is based on the same unwavering commitment to the truth. The selfless people living under tyrannical regimes who risk their lives to inform the world of the truth remind us of the challenges and sacrifices journalism can require. Recently, 11 Chinese citizens were charged with providing The Epoch Times with images and video documenting draconian lockdown measures. We are calling on the Chinese communist authorities to immediately release these citizens. As the Committee to Protect Journalists stated this week, “The 11 people arrested for sending photos and information to The Epoch Times should be released from jail immediately, with all charges dropped.” We have also experienced direct attacks. In Hong Kong, our printing press has faced multiple attempts to shut it down. In one instance, assailants set fire to the printing press, and in another instance, men armed with sledge-hammers destroyed equipment. Yet despite these challenges, our reporters and editors around the world will continue their commitment to you, our reader. We believe that the light of truth is the most powerful force for good. We want to thank you for becoming a subscriber to INSIGHT, and we invite any feedback you might have. on b e h a l f of a l l ou r sta f f
