World Press Freedom Day

How will you celebrate?

Panel discussions seem to be a popular method: Columbia University got a head start on the 13th annual event Thursday with its panel discussion: Freedom of Expression in Cyberspace.

The United Nations held its panel discussion, The Media and Armed Conflict, yesterday (World Press Freedom Day Eve), beginning on an appropriately somber note with a moment of silence to honor the 14 journalists from 8 nations who died covering the invasion of Iraq. It also issued an annual statement on the topic.

For organizations that work for world press freedom every day, it's business as usual on May 3. The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press will keep doing what it has done since 1970, providing free legal assistance to journalists (the group's 24-hour hotline for journalists and media lawyers is (800)-336-4243) and publishing regular updates from the press freedom front lines, which now include the New York City Subway. This year the group added a blog, Behind the Homefront. The Committee to Protect Journalists is marking the day with a new report, The World's Worst Places to be a Journalist.

If you need ideas on how to commemorate the occasion, The United Nations Association of Canada has posted a list of suggested activities.

The International Federation of Journalists isn't just issuing statements and holding panel discussions; it's taking action, spearheading the founding of a new organization, the International News Safety Institute to make the world safer for journalists.

Reporters Without Borders published its annual report on press freedom violations in advance of the day, naming 42 predators of press freedom, and today it will publish its annual press freedom photo album.

The blogging community, also known as the blogosphere, is speaking up for the day as well, calling for the release of Iranian blogger Sina Motallebi, who was arrested for blogging last month. Sina is one of an estimated 10,000 bloggers in Iran.

Human Rights Watch launched an online campaign on the rights, and violations thereof, of Internet dissidents.

And the Israeli army added one more name yesterday to the list of journalists who died in action, killing British freelance journalist James Miller, who was filming the army as it demolished homes in the Rafah refugee camp in Gaza.

In addition to the links above, The Dagley Dagley Daily offers this link to the document that led to World Press Freedom Day, more popularly known as the Windhoek Declaration, which was originally directed at Africa but which applies wherever and whenever freedom of the press is threatened: anywhere, anytime.

Defend yours today, and every day, and remember: not everybody who defends freedom wears a uniform. Some are armed with nothing but a pen, a camera, a microphone, a blog, or just their own voices. Our own voices, that is.
