City Council asks staff for new sewer rate options
U.S. press freedom rating plummets
The United States has slid from 17th in the world in 2002 for press freedom to 64th, says Reporters without Borders (RSF).
Democracy Now! reports today that this country fell seven places since last year.
“You think about the economics of the news industry right now, thousands of jobs lost over recent years, an average of two local newspapers closing every week in this country, and tens of millions of Americans living in news deserts,” RSF North American Director Clayton Weimers told Democracy Now! “Meanwhile, there’s a great deal of consolidation of the media, with fewer and fewer people owning the airwaves and owning the conduits of digital information.”
