Reporters Without Borders

In North America, we're accustomed to a certain level of freedom granted the press -- and even though they sometimes squander it, prostitute it, we're still a better society for granting the freedom -- they are after all, representative of the peoples voice -- our voice. With the proliferation of the homegrown pundits on the internet -- blogs, journals, etc. -- that freedom has been lifted by anonymity to new heights. This is not true for the whole world however (and it's ironic when you realize that some of the technology that is employed curtail press freedom elsewhere in the world, was developed by freedom loving people and purposely sold to the authority of those countries) -- that's why organizations like Reporters Without Borders exist.
