VITAMEDIAS

Apesar dos condicionalismos neste Dia da Liberdade de Imprensa, é bom saber que:
- Poverty eradication linked to press freedom
- More people trust the media than their governments, especially in developing countries

[acts.: Pssttt? hoje é o dia mundial da liberdade (ops) de imprensa, por favor não falem alto?

In the age of the Internet, newspapers are still big business: Newspapers are the Internet's primary suppliers of information.
While technology may change methods of delivery, as for example online, there is no content to deliver without a news organization to gather and edit it. In its annual report on the news media, the Project for Excellence in Journalism says the "evidence does not support the notion that newspapers have begun a sudden death spiral."
Internet-only sites like Slate and Salon that have tried to produce original content have struggled financially, says the report, while those thriving financially rely almost entirely on the work of others. Newspapers are the country's biggest news-gathering organizations in most towns and the Internet's primary suppliers.]
