    Predators of Freedom of Information in 2013 3 May 2013 World Press Freedom Day

    3 may 2013 PREDATORS OF FREEDOM OF INFORMATION IN 2013 3 MAY 2013 WORLD PRESS FREEDOM DAY 39 LEADERS, GROUPS NAMED AS PREDATORS OF FREEDOM OF INFORMATION IN 2013 Reporters Without Borders is today, World Press Freedom Day, releasing an updated list of 39 Predators of Freedom of Information – presidents, politicians, religious leaders, militias and criminal organizations that censor, imprison, kidnap, torture and kill journalists and other news providers. Powerful, dangerous and violent, these predators consider themselves above the law. “These predators of freedom of information are responsible for the worst abuses against the news media and journalists,” Reporters Without Borders secretary-general Christophe Deloire said. “They are becoming more and more effective. In 2012, the level of vio- lence against news providers was unprecedented and a record number of journalists were killed. “World Press Freedom Day, which was established on the initiative of Reporters Without Borders, must be used to pay tribute to all journalists, professional and amateur, who have paid for their commitment with their lives, their physical integrity or their freedom, and to denounce the impunity enjoyed by these predators.” Five new predators have been added to the list: the new Chinese president, Xi Jinping, the Jihadi group Jabhat Al-Nosra from Syria, members and supporters of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, Pakistan’s Baloch armed groups, and Maldives’ religious extremists. Four predators have been dropped from the list: former Somali information and communications minister Abdulkadir Hussein Mohamed, Burmese President Thein Sein, whose country is experiencing unprecedented reforms despite the current ethnic violence, the ETA group, and the Hamas and Palestinian Authority security forces, which are harassing journalists less.

    1403Rd Meeting of the Ministers' Deputies, 5 May 2021, Statement by the Group of Friends on Safety of Journalists and Media Freedom

    1403rd meeting of the Ministers' Deputies, 5 May 2021, Statement by the Group of Friends on Safety of Journalists and Media Freedom This statement is delivered on behalf of the Group of Friends on the Safety of Journalists and Media Freedom in Strasbourg, which consists of the following member States of the Council of Europe: France, Greece, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Austria. A joint statement of all five Groups of Friends in Geneva, New York, Paris, Strasbourg (CoE) and Vienna (OSCE) issued on the same occasion can be found in the annex. On the occasion of World Press Freedom Day we want to express our unwavering support for a free, independent and safe press and acknowledge the work and efforts of journalists and media workers in these challenging times. In the context of the Council of Europe, this support comes particularly from the European Convention on Human Rights. The right to receive and impart information, ideas and opinions without interference is guaranteed by Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights and is a cornerstone of any democratic society. At the same time, the role of journalists and other media actors as public watchdogs is crucial to safeguard all the other rights enshrined in the Convention. 2020 marked another year in which media freedom was under threat. We witnessed concerning developments in many member States of the Council of Europe, including the intimidation of journalists, media actors and media outlets, raids of their offices, arbitrary and unlawful detentions, and additional legislative restrictions.

World Press Freedom Day this year is all the more significant because it coincides with the 25th anniversary of the Windhoek Declaration adopted in 1991 at a meeting of African journalists who produced this groundbreaking document. The main event this year, which will be co-hosted by Unesco and the Government of Finland, will be held in Helsinki from May 2-4, and the Chair of the NMT, Gwen Lister, who was also chair of the conference which adopted the Windhoek Declaration, will be a keynote speaker at the event. In keeping with the global theme for this year25 years of the Windhoek Declaration provides opportunity for African media to do some stocktaking on the status of journalism as well as some soul-searching on the current status of free speech and media as well as access to information on the continent, says Lister.

Much of this scholarly work is premised on Euro-American centric theories. To the extent that these theories are held to be universal, they hinder critical theorisation of the role of bilateral/multilateral donors and Western policy think tanks that have materially and ideologically supported media policy reforms and the democratisation agenda in the region. I argue that this donors support is not neutral, but is tied to certain material and ideological interests. This reality therefore provides a backdrop from which to interrogate and problematise the role of these global actors in major media policy debates in SSA. To do this, I move away from dominant Western models and theories and rely on decolonial theories which are broadly committed to theorising the problematic of colonisation, (post)coloniality and decolonisation. Decolonial perspectives have intimate links with strands of postcolonial thought, subaltern theory, dependency, World System analysis and African political thought. I use these theories to critique the material and ideological legacies of the colonial encounter that continue to shape and influence the politics and practices of media reform and practices in Africa.

Using portraits of Mrs. Nieman’s mother and father as references, he worked with cut pages from Nieman Reports and from the Foundation’s archival material to create this likeness. About the portrait on page 6: Alexandra Garcia (left), NF ’13, an Emmy Award-winning multimedia journalist with The Washington Post, based her acrylic portrait with collage on the photograph of Agnes Wahl Nieman standing with her husband, Lucius Nieman, in the pressroom of The Milwaukee Journal. The photograph was likely taken in the mid-1920s when Mrs. Nieman would have been in her late 50s or 60s. Garcia took inspiration from her Fellowship and from the Foundation’s archives to present a younger depiction of Mrs. Nieman.
