Journalists Under Fire - East & Southern Africa

Journalists Under Fire - East & Southern Africa
A campaign to call attention to the dangers journalists face in East and Southern Africa. This campaign will take place every year on May 3. The 2003 Journalists Under Fire campaign offered an information package detailing the state of free expression in each of the 11 member countries of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). Included in the package was also a report on the representation of women in the media in Southern Africa. As part of the 2003 campaign, journalists were encouraged to participate in efforts to promote media freedom and freedom of expression in this region by using these materials. To facilitate this process, texts, graphics, and illustrations were made available electronically. Each year, new advocacy elements will be added to the campaign.
