Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 PRESS FREEDOM DECLINES http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A51417-2004Apr28 " Freedom of the press declined substantially around the world in 2003, including a worrisome drop in Italy, according to a survey released Wednesday by Freedom House. " Despite some specific recent improvements, and an overall upward trend towards greater press freedom worldwide during the late 1990s, the last two years have seen a dramatic deterioration,” said Karin Deutsch Karlekar, the survey's managing editor. " State-directed intimidation and attempts to influence the media are being perpetrated by governments that seem to be increasingly unwilling to tolerate critical coverage.” SOURCE: Washington Post, April 28, 2004 More web links related to this story are available at: http://www.prwatch.org/spin/April_2004.html#1083124801 To discuss this story in the PR Watch Forum, visit: http://www.prwatch.org/forum/discuss.php?id=1083124801 Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at HotJobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
