Press Freedom: Reporters sans frontiers

I am basically a defendant of freedom of Press.

It is as a value of democracy in our so called "Western civilization".

Press, as freedom of expression is also"highlighted", because it is a shaper of public opinion.

Even if journalism claims to be "objective" it is not. Can never be. Not only because perceptions are always formed by personal "a priori" experiences, but because unfortunately journalism is a huge part of the political maneuvering.

The defence of freedom of expression should not be an absolute. As everything else in life, there is a point of rupture where what it is good can be not so good.

So...as you see, we move by "principals" and then we discuss "issues".

Many journalists have been incarcerated while they were doing their job. Basically trying to open some information to the world. This link is to make us more conscientious of this fact, so we can gather some thoughts about it, and decide whether or not we need to take action.
