Jones Dean, College of Fine Arts and Communications ABSTRACT AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CPJ IN DEFENDING JOURNALISTS AND PRESS FREEDOM IDEALS IN LATIN AMERICA: TRANSNATIONAL ADVOCACY IN THE INTERNATIONAL SPHERE Leticia A. Adams Department of Communications Master of Arts The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is one of many nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations that work to defend press freedom and the safety of journalists in Latin America. Based on qualitative interviews with employees at the CPJ, open surveys with journalists who have been helped by the CPJ, historical archive research, and informal participant observation, this study shows that organized domestic and international nongovernmental groups can and do make improvements on behalf of journalists and press freedom in Latin America. The CPJ’s activities raise issues and place them on the agenda, and they influence discourse, policy, institutional procedures, and state behavior. Effectiveness at these levels is conditioned upon the involvement of local press groups, target audiences, the issues addressed, the credibility and authority of the CPJ, and the organization’s connections within the worldwide press freedom network. This case study helps fill a significant gap in the research on transnational advocacy and its influence, and provides a foundation upon which to further explore the roles of advocacy networks in the international community. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the guidance of my friend and mentor, Dr. Eliza Tanner Hawkins, whose wisdom, wonderful example, and constant support have motivated and inspired me throughout this project. Many thanks go to my committee members, Dr. Darren Hawkins, Dr. Allen Palmer, and the late Dr. Michael Perkins, and also my graduate coordinator, Dr. Sherry Baker, for offering their additional expertise and advice throughout this endeavor. I am deeply indebted to Carole and her two darling children for opening their home to me while I conducted my interviews in New York. I am also thankful to the CPJ fulltime staff and the journalists they helped for sharing their insights and perspectives into its activities. Of course, the conclusions of this study do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the CPJ or the journalists it tried to help. Finally, I give a heartfelt thank you to all of my friends and family who have always encouraged me to follow my dreams. I would especially like to thank my mother and father for helping me realize this study; Lauren, James, and Mark for their inspiration; Roxanne, for her willingness to always help me; and Ben, one of my best friends, for his love, patience, interest, and unfailing support.

The experience of writing this report helped reinforce my belief that the theory of transitional justice much emanate from, and constantly be nourished from the experiences of those who engage in its day-to-day work: the survivors, the families of victims, the human rights defenders, lawyers, judicial operators, whose labor creates the things we understand to be transitional justice. My first debt of gratitude is to Katya Salazar, Executive Director of the Due Process of Law Foundation (DPLF), and Leonor Arteaga, Impunity and Grave Human Rights Senior Program Officer at DPLF, for their invitation to collaborate in the preparation of a grant proposal to the Bureau of Democracy, Labor and Human Rights, which led to the two-year funded project on transitional justice in post-conflict Peru, Guatemala and El Salvador that is the basis for this report.

Es de esperar que el libro sea de utilidad en las escuelas de Inteligencia gubernamentales y civiles por toda la región, y que emer- jan otras investigaciones sobre el tema estimuladas por el presente. Se presentan evidencias en el libro de que la función de inteligencia a nivel nacional y estratégico experimenta cambios de índole evolucionario e involucionario, que la permiten, por sus cuadros profesionales, refl ejar y ejecutar lo democrático tan bien como lo represivo, en cualquier país.

  • World Congress on Communication for Development
    5 Communication Labs his section reviews the workshops from the Communication TLabs strand of the Congress, which addressed the cross-cutting nature of Communication for Development, looking at method- ological issues such as impact evaluation and the adoption of par- ticipatory communication approaches, as well as the use of media (including community media) and ICTs in development initiatives. This section also includes ideas and recommendations from the two special events on communication and disabilities and indigenous peoples, which were also considered important issues in which com- munication plays a major role. The six workshops in this strand were as follows: 1. News Media as a Pro-Development Tool 2. Fighting Poverty—Community Media and Communication for Development in the Digital Age 3. Implementing Communication for Development Thinking in Southern Realities—Negotiating Politics, Profit, and Poverty Toward Social Inclusion 4. Impact and Assessment—Innovative Ways to Determine Communication Effectiveness 5. The Rationale, the Value, and the Challenges for Adopting Participatory Communication in Development Programs 6. Which Kind of Development Communication Does Attract Media? 87 88 WORLD CONGRESS ON COMMUNICATION FOR DEVELOPMENT News Media as a Pro-Development Tool Panelists had no doubts about the value added of the media covering development issues. The discussion revolved instead around (a) why this is so hard to achieve, (b) what civil society needs to understand to get the news media to cover development, and (c) who needs to take what roles in order for journalists to cover development stories effectively. KEY MEDIA TRENDS 1. The concentration of media ownership—In the United States, there has been an acceleration of ownership of all media into fewer private hands.

Introduction Does the end ever justify the means? This question confronts and haunts the student of modem terrorism and revolution. In the first part of this century, Mahatma Gandhi, leading India in a non- violent struggle against British imperial rule, argued eloquently that violent means are never justifiable, no matter how noble the end. He convinced Indians to struggle for independence non-violently on the basis that "[t]ruth never damages a cause that is just."1 Leading this unique revolution, Gandhi provided a moral founda- * The author holds a law degree with Honors from the University of London (England) and teaches History and Human Rights at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada.

  • Chapter Ii Evaluation of the Status of Freedom Of
    CHAPTER II EVALUATION OF THE STATUS OF FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IN THE HEMISPHERE A. Introduction and Methodology 1. This Chapter describes some aspects related to the situation of freedom of expression in the countries of the hemisphere. Following the tradition of previous reports, it also contains a table that reflects the number of assassinations of journalists in 2003, the circumstances and presumed motives for these assassinations, and where the investigations stand. 2. For the purpose of describing the specific situation of each country, the Rapporteurship established a classification of the different methods used to limit the right to freedom of expression and information. It should be noted that all of these acts are incompatible with the Principles on Freedom of Expression adopted by the IACHR. The classification includes assassinations as well as other types of attacks such as threats, detentions, judicial actions, acts of intimidation, censorship, and legislation contrary to freedom of expression. In addition, in some cases positive actions that have taken place are included, among them the adoption of laws to ensure access to information, the repeal of desacato laws in one country of the hemisphere, and the existence of legislative proposals or judicial decisions favorable to the full exercise of freedom of expression. 3. This Chapter covers information corresponding to 2003. The Special Rapporteurship for Freedom of Expression receives information from different sources1 describing the situations related to freedom of expression in the States of the Hemisphere. Once the information is received, and bearing in mind the importance of the matter, it is analyzed and verified. Afterwards, it is grouped based on the categories indicated above, and the Rapporteurship, for the purposes of this Report, reduces the information to a series of paradigmatic examples that seek to reflect the situation of each country as regards respect for and the exercise of freedom of expression, also indicating the positive actions taken and any regression.
