BERLIN-BASED left-wing media collective Redfish announced this week that it was being forced to close down after six years of reporting on grassroots anti-capitalist campaigns.
The collective, set up in 2017, blamed “years of rampant censorship” and a European Union attack on freedom of speech for its demise.
In a statement, Redfish said that it had been the subject of a “relentless campaign of smears by mainstream media, academia and think tanks” and that “social media censorship and now state-sanctioned harassment have made it impossible for us to continue.”
