The visit of President Hu Jintao of the People's Republic of China presents Yale's president, Richard C. Levin, an opportunity to be a strong advocate for human rights in China. One aspect of this issue gets little attention in the American press and that is the suppression of religious freedom in China. It is illegal to belong to the Roman Catholic Church and the atheistic regime systematically tracks down and arrests as many Catholic priests as it can. All 50 Catholic bishops are either in prison, under house arrest or under 24-hour guard. One bishop, Joseph Fan, was imprisoned for ordaining priests. He was held captive for 33 years and, in 1991, beaten to death. More than 100 priests are in prison today. Some are in forced labor camps. Some are in their 70s and 80s. Many priests are ...
The four theories of the press have long dominated in journalism education and research and arguably do a good job of describing media systems in the West. However, it is hard to fit Asian media systems into the existing theories. This paper re-examines the four press theories and identifies the difficulties in using the theories as a guide to understand media systems in Asia. The purpose of this paper is to raise issues with the applicability of the theories in an Asian media context and explore a new paradigm, which would bring in cultural values from both the East and the West.

I wanted to echo John Hughes' column "China long on talk, short on deeds to ensure free press" (Oct. 31). Noting that despite Communist Party Chief Hu Jintao's frequent use of "democracy" in his recent keynote speech, China has shown little progress toward real freedom. In fact, in this year's Freedom House survey of Freedom of the Press, China was labelled "Not Free" with its news media "tightly controlled by the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party.

North Korea's vicelike grip on the flow of information into and out of its secretive society is weakening, thanks to technology, the porous border with China and the North's crumbling economy, defectors and activists say. While North Koreans celebrated the birthday of their "Dear Leader" in Pyongyang on Wednesday, a group of activists and defectors showed reporters how outside influences and inside sources are circumventing the totalitarian state's media. The event was sponsored by Paris-based press freedom foundation Reporters Without Borders.

This paper presents a comparative study of economic freedom in five groups of countries: Free, Mostly Free, Islamic, Latin American, and a subset of EU member countries. The study includes 103 countries, and uses data from the 2007 Index of Economic Freedom. The paper tests for the statistical significance of the difference between group means for each of ten measures of economic freedom and for the overall freedom score. The empirical evidence shows that the Islamic countries have significantly less economic freedom than the other groups, and that they are the only group with declining economic freedom in the last 13 years.
