3 May-World Press Freedom Day @The Frontline Club - 2006/05/02 10:52 Wednesday 3 May - 7.30pm
World Press Freedom Day - Free Admission

According to the International News Safety Institute, as of 21
April, the number of journalists and media workers confirmed dead worldwide in
2006 stood at 29 - in Iraq alone, 119 dead since the start of the war, two
thirds of them Iraqi freelances or media workers.

On World Press Freedom Day, we're asked to pay tribute to
those journalists who have lost their lives reporting the news, 90% of whom
were murdered or killed in their own countries.

This year, The Frontline Club brings together journalists from
Iraq, Nepal, and Belarus: Waleed Ibrahim, chief reporter for the Reuters
Baghdad Arabic service; Andrei Bastunets, Deputy Chairman of the Belarusian
Association of Journalists; and Nepalese media critic Pratyoush Onta.

All three exemplify the risks journalists in their respective
countries take to report the news.

Make the time to observe World Press Freedom Day this year.
Join in the conversation.

Re:3 May-World Press Freedom Day @The Frontline Club - 2006/05/12 11:16 Thank you to The Frontline Club for the reminder!

World Press Freedom Day only happens once a year on May 3 but journalists still remain imprisoned.

I encourage journalists to choose 1 jailed journalist. Click on the link for that prisoner, read about him or her, then click on 'send a letter' and send your form letter (as I have already done) of concern to the person responsible for the highest form of ‘prior’ censorship.
