Another Rough Year Ahead for Indonesian Press | The Jakarta Globe: "If violence and intimidation was the order of the day for Indonesia’s journalists in 2011, this year is shaping up to be no better, press freedom advocates and pundits contend.
On Wednesday, France-based watchdog Reporters Without Borders released its 2011 Press Freedom Index, in which Indonesia dropped 29 places from a year earlier to 146th.
The reason to the drop, the organization said, was largely cases of journalists in Papua being killed, kidnapped and assaulted.
The safety issue could be exacerbated this year by political tensions as jockeying for the 2014 general elections intensifies and a slew of regional elections take place. "
