Tucker Cockerline was sentenced to 27 months in prison for his role in harassing New Hampshire Public Radio journalists after the outlet published a critical story.
Prosecutors revealed that Cockerline and others in the group spray-painted vulgar language and threw rocks through the windows of journalists’ homes in retaliation for their reporting.
This case highlights the increasing risks that journalists face, particularly when their work challenges powerful local figures, which can lead to violent repercussions.
With three other men indicted in connection to the case, the coordinated harassment aimed at intimidating journalists poses serious concerns for press freedom and safety.
