They work in a climate of unrelenting danger, are routinely detained by U.S. forces without charge, and are murdered by insurgents.

In the African nations of Zimbabwe and Ethiopia, more than 100 prominent journalists have been forced to flee their homelands as governments crack down on independent news media.

Compiled annually by the Committee to Protect Journalists, Attacks on the Press is the most authoritative reference guide to press freedom worldwide. The book provides factual and unbiased accounts of abuses and analyses of media conditions in dozens of nations. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder f黵 EUR 25.95 bestellen! |
