2 December 2003

press release

Breaking news about press freedom in Somalia will now be more accessible to the international community, thanks to efforts by the Somali Journalists Network (SJN).

The organisation has launched what it calls Somalia's first website that reports on press-freedom violations in the country.

The site contains backgrounders on Somali media and on press laws, as well as reports on SJN's training activities. SJN was formed in 2002 with a mandate to defend and promote Somali journalists.

To visit the new website, go to: http://www.sojon.org
