Reporters without Borders
I was giving a look on this "Handbook for bloggers and cyber-dissidents" and then i read the posts from people of germany, Bahrain and USA.
I first was just trying to have an idea of if the handbook really was as good as it as told, if it really have information needed to scape from opression. I havent yet answer that, but my reading was very interesting.
That as how i get to Jay Rosen, and searching for him in the net, found this talk with Dan Gillmor. I liked the first line from Rosen when he tells how Ted Koppel prepares his interviews.

"Handbook for bloggers and cyber-dissidents
"Blogs get people excited. Or else they disturb and worry them. Some people distrust them. Others see them as the vanguard of a new information revolution. Because they allow and encourage ordinary people to speak up, they’re tremendous tools of freedom of expression."

“Now I can write what I think”
"Jay Rosen
"PressThink
"When I started asking around about how to do a weblog, I got many kinds of answers. The one piece of advice everyone gave was : you must write in short posts. That’s the style, some said. That’s what works, said others. And, most suspicious of all, that’s what busy, Web-cruising readers expect. They don’t have time for your long and thoughtful analysis, I was told. By everyone."
