WHEN IT IS IN THEIR INTEREST... A BRAZILIAN NEWSPAPER OPENLY COUNTS, DAILY, THE DAYS IT IS UNDER CENSORSHIP


Based in Brazil, O Estado de S.Paulo, alias Estadão (because it is big) counts daily the days it is under censorship. Very easy to check this, reader: get any daily issue of the newspaper. Go to page A3 and, on the bottom of that page, find a tiny back square, lettering in white. It says exactly how many days till that day the newspaper in under censorship. Not a few: more than 2,200 today. There you also find how to know more about the case.

Our main story presently (see titles of the blog) describes another mechanism of harming freedom of expression (while imposing financial losses), going on also in Brazil and involving the most prestigious, and global, The Economist.
To read more about it, please find, a litlle below the titles of the blog, the links directing to the case.
