Dear All --

Once again,   not a single working journalist or journalists' representative 
has been chosen, even tho the name of Aidan White, the General Secretary of 
the International Federation of Journalists (and an excellent, well-informed and 
convincing speaker) was submitted, along with that of South African 
journalist Brenda Zulu. The IFJ is merely the federation of all the world's 
journalists' unions.

There is something profoundly frivolous about people who think there ought to 
be an Information Society without any input from journalists. And Civil 
Society wonders why it doesn't get a good press!

Best, Rony Koven, World Press Freedom Committee
