(RSF/IFEX) - Reporters Without Borders is extremely concerned for the lives of Ali Mahmoud Othman, a Homs-based citizen journalist who was arrested on 28 March in Aleppo, and Noura Al-Jizawi, a woman activist working for opposition media who was abducted by the security services the same day in Damascus. “Citizen journalists whose only crimes are to have witnessed, filmed and photographed acts of violence by a regime that persists in its deadly folly are being hunted down, arrested, tortured and murdered,” Reporters Without Borders said.

Yesterday Germany’s most important daily newspaper, The Bild, called the “experts” opinion on CO2 lie s and pure fear mongering . Coming from Europe, this a thunderous body blow to the global warming hoax and makes our Supreme Court look foolish for ruling that CO2 causes greenhouse gases.Thursday, 26 January 2012 The Arab Spring appears not to have sprung into sub-Saharan Africa, where journalists face increasing repression while trying to cover anti-government protests.

Glenn Greenwald: Journalists have become servants to power | The Raw Story
Salon.com’s Glenn Greenwald, a former constitutional rights attorney, said the media’s reaction to the “Occupy Wall Street” movement highlighted how mainstream media journalists had become part of the elite class. “If you look at, say, a host on MSNBC, what you’re actually seeing is a very high ranking employee of what was General Electric and now is Comcast, who makes many millions of dollars a year and has a make-up artist sitting in front of their face for an hour applying all sorts of make-up and another person working on their hair.” He said that journalists had traditionally been people outside of power who acted as watchdogs to aid the powerless, but that mainstream journalists now identified with the powerful. “It has converted them into watchdogs over power into spokespersons and servants to people in power,” Greenwald explained in conversation with Salon founder David Talbot.Journalism / Periodismo
