Attacks on the Press in 2011: Philippines
Despite high levels of press and Internet freedom, provincial journalists worked under constant threat of reprisal. Two broadcast journalists, Gerardo Ortega and Romeo Olea, were shot and killed for their reporting. Both cases were unsolved by year’s end, underscoring the country’s third worst ranking on CPJ’s 2011 Impunity Index, which calculates unsolved journalist murders as a percentage of a country’s population.
And we’re back into the top three again. Cause for celebration? Not!
Sad but unsurprising. :<
