Reviews

Fascinating and chilling read. * Communication Booknotes Quarterly * Besides a nation-by-nation analysis of press freedom, this year's survey includes timely chapters on press freedom in Iraq and Ukraine (the latter, written months in advance of November 2004, accurately predicted the disputed election). Helpful global and regional tables provide readers with a comparative snapshot of national press freedom ratings. This foundational resource has no competition and is commendably current. Essential. * CHOICE *
