The latest half year report on World freedom of the press is out from the World Association of newspapers.
Amongst its highlights:
1.In Latin America, journalists who report on high-level corruption continue to work in a climate of fear and intimidation.
2.In Central America, targeted violence continues unabated and a culture of impunity allows many of those who commit crimes against journalists to escape justice.
3.press freedom violations have continued to mount in the Middle East and North Africa. Autocratic governments use repressive media laws to silence journalists, making self-censorship rife in the region. Bloggers have also increasingly faced the consequences - court cases, arrests, intimidation and killings - for vindicating their right to a free press alongside the region’s traditional journalists.
