World Press Freedom Day Round-Up: “In 2012, 1 journalist is killed every 5 days.”
Check out Global Voices’ Threatened Voices Project, which is a collaborative database that maps bloggers who have been threatened.
The Committee to Protect Journalists has released a Journalist Security Guide that’s really comprehensive (H/T: Future Journalism Project)
CPJ also has recent article on safer mobile use for journalists and a list of the 10 most censored countries.
A WNYC interview with reporter Sebastian Junger about the organization he founded, Reporters Instructed in Saving Colleagues, after the death of his friend and colleague Tim Hetherington.
UNESCO has used the Ushahidi platform to crowdsource a map of World Press Freedom celebrations.
UNESCO is honoring Azerbaijani journalist Eynulla Fatullayev with its annual Guillermo Cano freedom prize.
Human Rights Watch is calling for action against Azerbaijan’s “appalling record on freedom of expression.”
Reporters Sans Frontières reminds us that one journalist is killed every five days (see photo above). This day can be a celebration of freedoms but it’s also a time to consider how much there is to condemn and fight against.
Here’s RSF’s 2012 Press Freedom Index. And, I encourage you to read through basically everything RSF has posted about journalists under threat.
The Journalists Freedoms Observatory is noting the deterioration of press freedom in Iraq.
From Amnesty International: reports on journalists and bloggers under threat in Sudan, Iran and Cuba.
The International Federation of Journalists has a recently released report on the state of press freedoms in South Asia.
UNESCO released a report in late March titled “The Safety of Journalists and the Danger of Impunity.” 
There is much cause to examine Pakistan’s press freedom problems. A report has apparently been released by the Pakistan Press Foundation, but I can’t yet find a copy. Be on the look out.
Freedom House’s 2012 Freedom of the Press survey has an unfortunate stat: only 14.5% of the world’s population live in a country with a free press. There is good news, though. Egypt, Libya and Tunisia have all shown marked improvements with the overthrows of Mubarak, Gaddhafi and Ben Ali.
