Freedom of Press Reporters Without Borders/Reporters Sans Frontières As the war in Iraq begins, Reporters Without Borders is adapting its website www.rsf.org to incorporate hour-by-hour news of press freedom violations by the various sides in the war. Reporters Without Borders accuses US military of deliberately firing at journalists Reporters Without Borders calls on US defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld to prove US attacks that killed three journalists in Baghdad today, including Reuter cameraman Taras Protsyuk (see photo), were not deliberate attempts to dissuade the media from reporting what is happening in the city. ...read more Al-Jazeera journalist killed Al-Jazeera cameraman Tarek Ayoub (35), a Jordanian, was killed and another of the station's journalists, Zohair al-Iraqi, wounded in the neck when a missile hit and badly damaged their offices near the Mansour Hotel in the centre of Baghdad yesterday....read more Iraqi authorities accused of contempt for foreign journalists Reporters Without Borders today accused the Iraqi regime of showing contempt for foreign journalists, imprisoning and expelling some and preventing the rest from working with even a minimal level of freedom. ...read more |
Embedded reporters It is said, that "embedded" reporters of the U.S. allied nations are better informed by the U.S. officials than others. That means that e.g. British, Spanish or Australian Journalists have the more precise information. So look at the international press below. By the way other reporters may have their own sources of information. The rules relate to "embedded" reporters - journalists who agree to give up a certain degree of freedom in return for permission to travel with units of the U.S. military. Around 700 embedded journalists accompany the US-led coalition forces in the attack on Iraq. Reporters Without Borders warned U.S. authorities not to obstruct the media in its reporting of the expected imminent war in Iraq. It expressed concern that the U.S. military might censor journalists officially allowed to work among U.S. forces and that those who opted to work independently would not be protected. It also called on U.S. forces not to destroy Iraqi media facilities. ...read more | |

According to the survey by pollsters EOS Gallup Europe, 82 per cent of European citizens would not support their countries' participating in a military intervention without UN support. |

Nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, even before the State Department named 30 countries as members of what President Bush calls "the coalition of the willing" this week, it was clear the United States would operate with dozens of allies, some large like Australia and Italy, some small such as Latvia and El Salvador. ...more Powell: 45 Nations in 'Coalition of Willing' On the brink of military confrontation with Iraq, Secretary of State Colin Powell yesterday said 45 countries have agreed to be part of a "coalition of the willing," but he didn't say exactly what the nations are willing to do. ...more U.S. Coalition for War Has Few Partners, Troop Pledges The Bush administration has asked 53 countries to join the United States in a military campaign against Iraq, but so far the "coalition of the willing," in President Bush's phrase, consists of a handful of countries and even fewer commitments of troops, officials and diplomats said yesterday. ...more |
