About Reporters Without Borders
Reporters Without Borders is one of the world’s leading non-governmental organization in the defense and promotion of freedom of information. The organization has distinguished itself in China, by its protests during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, in Africa, by creating the only independent radio station broadcasting to Eritreans in 2009, in Haiti, by creating a media support center after the January 2010 earthquake, and more recently in Syria by providing training to journalists and bloggers. Every day, Reporters Without Borders issues press releases and reports in French, English, Spanish, Arabic, and Farsi (and often in other languages such as Chinese, Portuguese and Russian) about the state of freedom of information throughout the world and how it is being violated. Its statements in the international media increase public awareness and influence leaders as regards both individual cases and general issues.
