World Press Freedom Day is today. Here is the official word from the World Bank, as well as a data-filled presentation by Dani Kaufman on Media, Governance and Development.
Also of interest:
- Reporters Without Borders annual report, Freedom of the Press Worldwide 2006
- Committee to Protect Journalists' most censored countries index
- Subverting democracy by bribing the media, the case of Peru
- Who own the media around the world?
- Ethan Zuckerman on a tale of two indexes
- And, should World Bank loans be linked to press freedom?
The Peru paper is a personal favorite.
Update 1: Also see the role of mass media in economic development. Tnx Paul.
