The
SKeyes Center for Media and Cultural Freedom launched on Wednesday, March 12,
2014, its annual Press and Cultural Freedom report for 2013. The report
includes a foreword titled “Breaking the Silence” by the Center’s director
Ayman Mhanna as well as detailed analysis of the state of press and cultural
freedom in Lebanon (by Firas Talhouk), Syria (by Jaber Bakr), Jordan (by Rima
Awad), and Palestine (by Widad Jarbouh). For the first year, the report sheds a
spotlight on recent cultural developments in Syria (by Abdullah Amin Hallak)
and Palestine (by Eric Reidy). The Center’s editor-in-chief Youssef El-Hachem
wrote the report’s conclusion focusing on journalists’ ethical challenges.
The
report also highlights major SKeyes activities in 2013 in addition to a series
of statistics summarizing the state of freedom of expression in the Levant.
The
report is available in Arabic, French and English.
