Tales : Who reads the papers? - Yes, Prime Minister - BBC comedy

Inspiration and admiration come form all aspects of life. After seeing this poster on Huffington Post, I thought about how powerful visual imagery can be to deliver a message and how awesome it is to have people daring to publish things against all the big fish out there trying to stop them or sometimes jail/make disappear/ kill them. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference, and impart information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers”.
And thanks to those reporters, journalists and activists around the world, we get a piece of the truth and hope that it never gets censored or manipulated by the governments. Because we all want the truth.

Reporters Sans Frontières (RSF), is a France-based international non-profit, non-governmental organization that promotes and defends freedom of information and freedom of the press. The organization has consultant status at the United Nations and UNESCO. Reporters Without Borders’ activities are carried out on five continents through its network of over 150 correspondents, its national sections, and its close collaboration with local and regional press freedom groups. Reporters Without Borders currently has 10 offices and sections worldwide. Starting in 2001 Reporters Without Borders has published its annual Predators of Press Freedom list which highlights what it feels are the worst violators of press freedom.

Their work needs our support because this way they can keep defending journalists and other media workers who are imprisoned or persecuted for doing their job, and draws attention to the many cases throughout the world of journalists being harassed, mistreated or tortured. Their campaigns are against laws designed to restrict press freedom, and fights censorship. They provide money to assist exiled or imprisoned journalists and their families and the unsupported families of journalists who have been killed; to enable journalists to leave their home countries if they are in danger there;

to repair the effects of vandalism on media outlets; to cover the legal fees of journalists who have been prosecuted for their writings or the medical bills of those who have been physically attacked; and upon occasion, to provide bullet-proof vests for use by journalists.
We live in an age of information but some of us are fortunate enough to live in countries where the press is not controlled by politicians or corporations. With our phones, cameras and social media connections, we act like journalists sharing the events live with each other, and governments are not happy about that. They want to control our freedom, they are scared of our freedom of expression on the Internet. How about a big “f*** off” to them? Support our journalists and defend your right to freedom of opinion and expression.
Lots of love. xo
