CONTRA LA CENSURA A LOS BLOGGERS

Free guide to help bloggers beat censorship
--------------------------------------------
A Paris-based media watchdog released a free guide to help bloggers and cyber-dissidents avoid political censorship in countries as far apart as Iran, Vietnam and Cuba. The guide, published by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and partly financed by the French Foreign Ministry, identifies bloggers as the 'new heralds of free expression' and offers advice on how to set up a blog and run it anonymously.
'Bloggers are often the only real journalists in countries where the mainstream media is censored or under pressure,' writes Julien Pain, head of RSF's Internet Freedom Desk. 'Only they provide independent news, at the risk of displeasing the government and sometimes courting arrest.'
The 87-page 'Handbook for Bloggers and Cyber-Dissidents' was launched yesterday at the Apple Expo computer show in Paris. It can be downloaded from the RSF website (www.rsf.org), and is available in English, French, Chinese, Arabic and Persian.
