The Press Association of Jamaica (PAJ) has expressed alarm at the widespread threats and abuse against Television Jamaica (TVJ) journalist Giovanni Dennis since his special report highlighting illegal drag racing in Jamaica.
In a release, the PAJ condemned the response to the story which was first aired on Sunday.
PAJ President Milton Walker says the Association views the threats as an attack on press freedom.
He says journalists must be allowed to do their work free from fear and intimidation.
The release further notes that the matter has been reported to the police and escalated to the Cyber Crime Division of the Jamaica Constabulary Force.
The Press Association has called for the police to do all in their power to investigate the threats and deal with the culprits.
