Posted by Carolyn Lo on March 27, 2008 at 2:10 PM
N'Djamena Hebdo, Le Temps, Notre temps, l'Observateur, Le Miroir et radio station FM-Liberté have designed Le Journal des Journaux, or "the newspaper of newspapers", which will have 10,000 copies available in Chad on Friday.
According to Agence France-Presse, Le Journal des Journaux aims to defend media freedom and denounce government measures that violate the right of expression with Reporters Without Borders funding the printing of this one time publication. In particular, journalists are protesting against a decree issued last month that ordered harsher punishment against journalists.
