Selvom undertrykkende regimer i den arabiske verden er faldet på stribe, har det ikke resulteret i større ytringsfrihed, lyder det fra verdenssammenslutningen af aviser, WAN/IFRA, skriver India Report.

The World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA) said that”little progress has been made in installing legislation that will protect the freedom of the press in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt.

“Governments in other Arab states have been obliged to make concessions to pro-reform demonstrators in order to remain in power, but promises of change have likewise brought little improvement in terms of media freedoms.”

In a report published at the World Newspaper Week in Vienna, WAN-IFRA said that in Syria, a”media blackout helped obscure the full extent of the regime’s brutal crackdown.”

The report reviews the situation engulfing media all over the world. See link below.
