From violence in Iraq to repression in China, CPJ recounts a troubling year in Attacks on the Press: New York, February 4, 2008—China’s onerous restrictions on the media in the run up to the 2008 Olympic Games, the erosion of press freedom in many of Africa’s new democracies, the criminalization of journalism in central Asia, and the increasing use of vague “antistate” charges to jail journalists around the world are among the troubling trends revealed in the new edition of Attacks on the Press. Reported and written by the staff of the Committee to Protect Journalists, Attacks on the Press in 2007  also details the devastating violence in Iraq, where 32 journalists were killed in the line of duty. Worldwide, 65 journalists were killed in 2007, the highest toll in more than a decade.

DPRN was set up by the Research School  for Resource Studies for Development (CERES) in 2003, with a view to stimulating increased cooperation and synergy between science, policy and practice. In the course of its existence the corporate sector was added to the target groups because businesses are increasingly engaging in development issues, while still being poorly connected to any of the other sectors. DPRN aims to bring the four sectors together to stimulate interaction and informed debate. (about).
