The Journalist Association in Slovenia warns that press freedom in the country has declined in the course of the past 20 years. It highlights the increasing pressure on media, also due to the economic crisis. The association adds that a third of Slovenia's journalists are not employed.
The Reprorters Without Borders watchdog unveiled a list of profiles of "100 information heroes". Slovenia's journalist Blaž Zgaga is among those listed. Journalist Mr. Mohamed Fahmy, an Egyptian-Canadian reporter, currently in jail in Egypt, will be honoured today as the 16th winner of the Press Freedom Award.
The least free country when it comes to the press are: Belarus, Cuba, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
