Share this story

The Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility (CMFR) reviewed the state of press freedom in the Philippines, focusing on the killing of journalists and other attacks on the press from January to December 2008. CMFR’s 2008 Press Freedom Report, the third since 2006, also looked at the legal environment for press freedom;  problems in prosecuting suspects in the killing of journalists; and the state of media ownership in the country.

The Report looks into these threats as part of the effort not only to record the details of a deteriorating press freedom  situation that needs exposure, but also as part of CMFR’s contribution to the campaign to improve respect for and observance of press freedom in the Philippine setting..

The Philippine Press Freedom Report 2008 is available online at the CMFR website. Copies are also available at the CMFR office, second floor, Ateneo Professional Schools, 130 HV de la Costa, Salcedo Village, Makati City. Bulk orders from schools and libraries are provided at a discount. Those interested may call CMFR at 840 0889. (CMFR)
