We may take for granted our opportunity as people of America to write the truth, to spread our opinions all over the internet (and in the paper if we're lucky) whether the subject matter important or not.
This is not the case all over the globe. In the Philippines, journalists are killed for speaking out or reporting unfavorable news. And what about those journalists reporting from the front lines of Iraq and Afghanistan alongside our soldiers. They are not equipped with the same protection our soldiers are and yet they risk their lives so that we may know what is happening to our people and to the world.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) defends journalists worldwide, no matter their country of origin. They work with journalists who have had to flee their countries and the families of those that are killed.
