REPORTERS WITHOUT BORDERS freedom of information
background
its mission
Freedom of expression and of information will always be the world’s most important freedom. If journalists were not free to report the facts, denounce abuses and alert the public, how would we resist the problem of child soldiers, defend women’s rights, or preserve our environment? In some countries, torturers stop their atrocious deeds as soon as they are mentioned in the media. In others, corrupt politicians abandon their illegal habits when investigative journalists publish compromising details about their activities. Still elsewhere, massacres are prevented when the international media focuses its attention and cameras on events.
Reporters Without Borders was founded in Montpellier in 1985 by four journalists : Robert Ménard, Rémy Loury, Jacques Molénat and Émilien Jubineau. This association, registered as a non-profit organisation in France since 1995, soon took on an international dimension.
To continuously monitor attacks on freedom of information worldwide;
Freedom of information is the foundation of any democracy. Yet almost half of the world’s population is still denied it.
“PROMOTING AND DEFENDING INFORMATION FREEDOM THROUGHOUT THE GLOBE.”
plaquette_rsf_ANGLAISok.indd 4
Reporters Without Borders organises its team of researchers by geographical area. The organisation also gradually developed two essential and highly specialised spheres of activity : one focused on Internet Censorship and the New Media, and the other devoted to providing material, financial and psychological assistance to journalists assigned to dangerous areas.
To denounce any such attacks in the media; To act in cooperation with governments to fight censorship and laws aimed at restricting freedom of information; To morally and financially assist persecuted journalists, as well as their families. To offer material assistance to war correspondents in order to enhance their safety.

The Netizen Prize is awarded to a blogger or cyberdissident whose outstanding efforts have contributed to freedom of expression on the Internet. In 2011, the Prize went to Tunisian blog Nawaat for the crucial role it played in covering the Jasmine Revolution. In 2012, it was awarded to the media centres of Local Coordination Committees of Syria (LCC Syria).

anti-censorship shelter On 24 June 2010, the first “Anti-Censorship Shelter” was inaugurated in the organisation’s Paris bureau as a space where foreign journalists, bloggers and dissidents who are refugees or passing through Paris can learn how to circumvent Internet censorship and protect their electronic communications while maintaining their anonymity online. The shelter makes available to the journalists online censorship circumvention and anonymity protection tools, including : A Virtual Private Network (VPN), which guarantees anonymity and allows users to access blocked websites. Several Internet censorship circumvention and encryption software programmes, and related user manuals. A website that publishes censored content, thereby providing a means for those pages to be read, and a way to defeat the purpose of their government’s censorship. A digital vault that provides cybernauts wishing to entrust Reporters Without Borders with sensitive data to do so in a secure manner. Reporters Without Borders strives to provide as much support as possible to netizens who are defending freedom of expression despite strong opposition from their repressive governments. The organisation also monitors potentially dangerous practices undertaken by democratic countries which could lead to them implementing Web control measures.

Currently, the combined proceeds from these albums and from advertising account for nearly half of Reporters Without Borders’ total income.

The Interforum network also supports the organisation by distributing the album, free of charge to the organisation in major bookstores such as Fnac, Virgin, and Cultura, as well as in museum stores. Thanks to the support of advertising networks like Mediakiosk and Mediatransports, our album is prominently displayed without charge or at discounted rates.
success with the public and the media With 40,000 to 70,000 copies sold per issue, the “100 Photos for Press Freedom” collection has acquired an outstanding reputation with the general public. This success can be attributed to the quality of the photos featured, the reasonable price (9.90 euros), and the commitment associated with such a purchase. All of these factors are inducing the media to support us by promoting these publications free of charge. With each new issue, over 200 media outlets, display networks, radio stations, TV channels, websites, magazines and newspapers distribute our ad campaigns, and over 1,200 journalists receive copies of the album so they can
mention it in their articles. It is not unusual for live 8 p.m. TV newscasts to announce our latest album release, giving it the publicty essential to its success.
new formula On the 20th anniversary of its first book of photographs, Reporters Without Borders is changing the format of the “100 Photos for Press Freedom” it publishes three times a year, turning it into product that is entirely dedicated to photography and committed to freedom of information at the same time. The addition of 20 unpublished photos, a more flexible format and a more contemporary design, will give these collections a new look. The new formula highlights the work of young prize-winning photographers and includes an interview with a photoreporter working in dangerous or difficult regions. Another novelty, in partnership with major news agencies, is a close-up on a single news photo and the photographer who took it. The first of these new-look Reporters Without Borders collections will be published on 3 May 2012 and will feature 100 photos by Martin Parr.

Ne sommes-nous pas entrés dans une ère de double schizophrénie ? Et d’abord, celle de scier la branche sur laquelle nous sommes assis ? Avons-nous oublié quelle incroyable combinaison de facteurs il a fallu pour que la vie puisse s’épanouir sur terre ? Cette combinaison de facteurs revient à la même probabilité qu’il y aurait de prendre une boîte avec des lettres d’imprimerie, de la jeter par terre et que les lettres s’agencent pour écrire au sol l’article 1 de la Déclaration des droits de l’homme. Nous sommes devenus une force tellurique au point de modifier en cinquante ans les écosystèmes de la planète plus vite qu’au cours de n’importe quelle autre période de l’histoire de l’humanité. Et comble de schizophrénie, celles et ceux qui aujourd’hui témoignent par leurs photos ou leurs écrits des atteintes à ce patrimoine commun de l’humanité sont parfois harcelés, menacés, voire emprisonnés, alors même qu’ils nous alertent pour mieux nous sauver. La liberté de préserver notre environnement et la liberté de la presse ne font qu’un. Pour avoir posé mes premiers pas de reporter photo au pays de l’apartheid, j’ai pu prendre conscience à la fois de leur unicité et de leur force pour faire avancer les justes causes. Ces pages sont d’abord un hymne au vivant, un flamboyant voyage au cœur des écosystèmes. Mais que deviendront ces merveilles ne serait-ce que dans dix ou vingt ans ? Puissent ces photos nous convaincre de la nécessité de faire alliance avec la nature et avec les hommes. Notre modèle de développement actuel n’est viable, ni pour la planète, ni pour l’homme. Les enjeux écologiques et sociaux sont étroitement liés et ne peuvent plus être traités de manière différenciée. Economiser et partager sont les mots clef d’une vision renouvelée du progrès qui place le bien-être de tous les hommes comme critère premier.”

3 projects realised thanks to philanthropic support Tunisia office opened : In 2011, in response to changes that occurred in the Maghreb, Reporters Without Borders opened an office in Tunisia. The organisation agreed to support the press freedom aspects of the country’s political transition. Media centre in Haiti : In the wake of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, Reporters Without Borders intervened by creating the Media Operations Centre in Port-au-Prince. The on-site facility provided an opportunity for media outlets whose offices were damaged to relaunch their activities, an essential factor in rebuilding and fostering political, economic and social development. Radio Erena : Set up in 2010 by an exiled Eritrean journalist, the radio station broadcasts via satellite to Eritreans in Eritrea. Since no independent news media is authorised in the country, news there has become a state-controlled instrument. Thanks to Radio Erena, tens of thousands of people are receiving information from an independent source.
