Free independent press, is a major
manifestation of democratic societies. Through such freedom one can measure the
extent of development of societies and their respect for freedom of thought,
freedom of opinion and expression, as well as the degree of respect of a
society to human freedoms and rights as declared in human rights charters, and
charters of economic and social rights concerned with the humanitarian
situation world wide, as well as the set rights included in both constitutions
and laws.
The press plays the role of the spearhead in
the war against domination and tyranny. Its most important role is to expose
corruption and torture, exposing the alliance of States with the capital -
locally and globally - and companies and major financial institutions against
the interests of peoples and the poor everywhere.
