MyNews newsroom brief · 14m ago · 1 min read · via bbc.co.uk

Gardaí say they are "aware of a threat made against media organisations here and in Europe".

The evacuation of Irish broadcaster RTÉ due to a bomb threat email has sent shockwaves through the media industry, highlighting the growing concern over threats and intimidation faced by journalists and media organizations. This incident is particularly alarming given the crucial role that RTÉ plays in disseminating news and information to the Irish public.

The fact that Gardaí have stated they are "aware of a threat made against media organisations here and in Europe" suggests that this may not be an isolated incident, and that there could be a broader, more sinister plot at play. The media industry has seen a rise in threats and attacks against journalists in recent years, and this incident serves as a stark reminder of the risks that journalists and media organizations face in the course of their work.

As the situation continues to unfold, it will be important to watch for further developments and any potential connections to other threats or incidents. The response of the authorities, including Gardaí and European law enforcement agencies, will also be closely watched to see how they are working to mitigate the threat and ensure the safety of journalists and media organizations.
