Dear Editor,
Freedom House, a nongovernmental organization that supports democracy and freedom of the media, says in its annual press freedom survey that “negative trends” outweighed “positive movements in every region of the world” But there were instances of hope and Guyana is included here.
“This marked the seventh straight year of overall deterioration. Improvements in a small number of countries — including bright spots in parts of South Asia and Africa — were overshadowed by a continued, relentless assault on independent news media by a wide range of actions, in both authoritarian states and countries with very open media environments.”
In some countries in the Americas, such as Mexico, Bolivia and Ecuador, “attacks and official rhetoric against the media escalated.” Venezuela and Cuba were ranked as not free, and there were “high levels of intimidation and self-censorship” in Colombia and Guatemala. But the report said, positive developments were noted in Guyana, Haiti and Uruguay.
