Reporters without Borders has released this years Worldwide Press Freedom Index
report.
"Each year new
countries in less-developed parts of the world move up the Index to
positions above some European countries or the United States. This is
good news and shows once again that, even though very poor, countries
can be very observant of freedom of expression. Meanwhile the steady
erosion of press freedom in the United States, France and Japan is
extremely alarming,� Reporters Without Borders said.
The Bush administration continues to damage not only their relations with the press but the underlying freedom of the press in the United States.
