LONDON, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- The member groups of the Coordinating Committee of Press Freedom Organizations express their deep concern over the continued persecution in Indonesia of Erwin Arnada, who was the editor of the Indonesian edition of Playboy magazine, which has not been published since 2007, over charges that two courts had ruled to be unfounded. This statement is also endorsed by the American Society of Magazine Editors. The Indonesian attorney general's office brushed aside the court findings that there was nothing indecent in the magazine, which we understand did not publish any nude photographs. The South Jakarta District Court ruled in 2007 and an appeals court subsequently confirmed the ruling that Arnada was not guilty of charges of perpetrating indecency. The govern...
Organizations such as Reporters without Borders and the Committee to Protect Journalists rank China high among those states practicing media suppression and censorship. In the state-run press, a number of topics are generally off limits.\n In the China Daily's year-end round-up, it wrote about the scandal, saying: The reasons for the recalls were not just quality defects, behind them were traditional disputes, technical barriers, trade protection and an overhyped media coverage. [...] China was determined to restore the confidence in China-made products and launched a four-month nationwide special campaign to improve product quality and food safety.

In real life, in settings far more inhospitable than rural Virginia, more than 700 journalists have been murdered since 1992, the year that the Committee to Protect Journalists started keeping track of their deaths. On the last day, we walked through the forest and learned how to recognize improvised explosive devices, which could, as one of the instructors told us, "really spoil your day.
NEW YORK - Pakistan remained the deadliest country for journalists for the second year in a row, while coverage of political unrest around the world was "unusually dangerous," a press advocacy group said Tuesday. The Committee to Protect Journalists said in its year-end report that 43 journalists died around the world in 2011. Seven journalists were killed in Pakistan, where 29 journalists have been killed in the past five years.
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 19 Iraqis working for U.S. and other foreign news outlets have been killed since the beginning of the war.
The Committee to Protect Journalists yesterday declared that 2007 was the deadliest year for the press in more than a decade, with a total of 88 reporters and editors killed worldwide. In its annual report, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said 65 deaths were connected to journalism work while the other 23 are still under investigation.
The Committee to Protect Journalists estimates that 65 journalists were killed in 2007. Nearly all of these deaths occurred amidst war, and today Iraq remains the most dangerous assignment for reporters. Increasingly wary of the dangers facing their reporters, major media outlets have been applying risk mitigation salves. Modern warfare has changed. Journalists are increasingly seen as part of the combat force and are nearly indistinguishable from the soldiers themselves -- particularly those embedded with the troops, dressed in military fatigues and acting with the unit. Changes in military policy and insurgent techniques are not the only factors influencing the increased dangers faced by today's war correspondent. There is a much more mundane, and yet equally effective, trigger: insur...
