CounterPunch: The War on Rebel Journalists (11/28/06) by John Ross
Common threads of state violence and media cynicism toward "independent journalists who refuse to conform to corporate media definitions of what a reporter should be" run through "the murder of Indymedia correspondent Brad Will this past October 27 on the barricades in Oaxaca by death squads" andinto the denial of the courts to release 23-year-old Josh Wolf from prison [for] refusing to turn over video clips of an anarchist anti-capitalist march.... Which insures Wolf of a place in the Guinness Record Book as the longest-serving imprisoned reporter in U.S. history. Wolf...will not be released until July.
