RSF (Reporters Without Borders) tracks press freedom, journalist safety and media rights worldwide. On Desert Rose Daily, this tag collects news, analyses and RSF statements that matter to readers across Africa and beyond.
Want quick context? RSF publishes annual press freedom rankings, issues urgent alerts when journalists are jailed or attacked, and supports legal and safety measures for reporters. These reports help citizens, editors and policymakers spot trends and act fast.
Here we group stories linked to RSF findings, statements or campaigns. Expect breaking alerts about threats to journalists, coverage of press freedom rankings, case studies of attacks or harassment, and pieces that explain how RSF recommendations affect local media. If RSF issues a report on a country, you’ll find our summary and links to the full text.
Each post aims to explain why a development matters. For example, when RSF flags rising online harassment, we show how that affects local newsrooms and what practical steps journalists can take to protect themselves. When RSF rates a government poorly, we list concrete consequences for media access and independent reporting.
Read the short summaries first to get the main point. If a story concerns legal threats, look for the timeline and sources. For safety alerts, note the verified actions to protect staff and how NGOs respond. We add links to RSF pages, local watchdogs and guides so you can follow up without hunting for original documents.
Are you a journalist or editor? Use our tag to spot patterns in your region and prepare newsroom responses. Are you a reader or researcher? Use it to trace how press freedom shifts over time and why it matters for democracy, corruption reporting and elections.
We also highlight RSF campaigns accepting public support or petitions. When RSF asks for signatures or public statements, we add simple steps to take action and explain expected impact. Small acts like sharing a verified alert or signing a petition can amplify pressure on authorities and protect individuals.
If you want targeted alerts, follow the RSF tag on our site or subscribe to our newsletter. We’ll send summaries when RSF releases a new country report or when urgent cases emerge. That keeps you informed without reading every source directly.
Finally, we welcome tips. If you have on-the-ground information about attacks on journalists or censorship, send it to our editorial team. We verify reports before publishing and often cite RSF assessments alongside local evidence to build a clearer picture.
We monitor legal changes, internet shutdowns, harassment cases and journalist arrests. Our updates explain what local laws mean for reporters and how international pressure can change outcomes. Bookmark this tag to stay ready and informed and share verified alerts.
RSF’s work and this tag are tools. Use them to stay alert, support journalists and hold power to account. Desert Rose Daily keeps this collection updated so you can find reliable, practical coverage about press freedom quickly.
A Guatemalan court ordered renowned journalist Jose Rubén Zamora back to prison, reversing his house arrest. Reporters Without Borders calls this decision a threat to press freedom and links it to ongoing corruption and intimidation of investigative journalists in Guatemala.
