The State of Journalism in Mexico

Harassment of Journalist in Brazil

The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns the harassment of journalists reporting on corruption in the Brazilian state of Paraná and calls on authorities to ensure their safety. A Brazilian journalist has gone into hiding after receiving death threats, while at least four others from a daily news outlet said they have been constantly harassed by police, according to the reporters and their employers.

In 2011, a Berlin journalist Michael Moore came to visit about a project about piracy in Somalia.There he was kidnapped for 32 months. The reason for his captivity was due to a flurry of horror stories from the East African famine last year, it occurred to me that quieter stories about how to revive Somalia have gone unnoticed," Michael wrote. A number of land-based pirate kidnappings in Kenya the previous year led to an invasion by Kenyan forces of southern Somalia, where the Islamist group al-Shabaab held power.
