It's been a busy week, so I only have time for a quick roundup in today's blog (perhaps more evidence of the parasitic nature of blogs): Check out David Leigh's article from yesterday's Guardian. David Leigh is investigative editor at the Guardian and none-too hopeful about the future of investigative reporting. Also check out the very interesting and to-the-point comment on Leigh's article on this blog - quite a meaty debate is taking place in the comments section as well. Privacy International is a watchdog group-cum-thinktank covering issues of privacy and surveillance, and they have just released a global comparative report on legal protection of journalists' sources around the world. While the report is optimistic about the fact that laws protecting sources have been enacted in many nations, the are more pessimistic about the undermining of source protection in some nations though frequent use of search warrants to obtain information from editorial offices or journalists' homes. Following on from my previous post: ABC news reported yesterday that China has begun profiling and tracking of foreign journalists that are going to work at next year's summer Olympics. The reason given is that China wants to avoid the problem of "being tricked by fake journalists". Finally, here is a brief report on our most recent seminar at the Reuters Institute, where Baqer Moin, former head of the BBC Persian Service, gave a very thorough lecture on the situation of media and journalism in Afghanistan. More substantial posts soon.
