| Press freedom day awards |
| The World Association of
Newspapers (WAN) and the World Editors Forum (WEF), a WAN branch which
represents senior newsroom personnel, have launched a major campaign to
encourage newspapers world-wide to promote World Press Freedom Day on 3
May. The groups have compiled a package for newspapers to use, which
includes editorial and advertising materials, political cartoons, essays
by journalists and writers on press freedom at the turn of the century,
regional reviews of press freedom, and other information on murdered and
imprisoned journalists. This campaign supports the mandate of World Press
Freedom Day by drawing attention to the widespread violations of the right
to freedom of expression and by campaigning "against the murder and jailing
of journalists and the censorship and banning of their publications," says
WAN. The materials can be viewed and/or downloaded in English, French,
German and Spanish from WAN's website at
