Press freedom: the barometer drops
Colombia once again tops the list of the most dangerous country for journalists to work in, with ten assassinations in 2002, followed by Russia (four), Mexico (three) and the Philippines (three), says the World Association of Newspapers in its most recent press freedom review.

As of November 2002, 41 journalists had been assassinated in the year and at least 119 remained in jail. Nepal has the highest number of imprisoned journalists (24), followed by Eritrea (18), Myanmar/Burma (15), China (11) and Iran (10). The review finds that press freedom is increasingly threatened, with little or no progress in countries with long-standing freedom of expression problems.
In some areas where progress has been identified (Namibia, West Africa, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico and Eastern Europe), recent developments make it clear that the media still has a long way to go before press freedom is enforced.
