<\/a><\/center>\nThere is good reason why the free flow of information is one of the eight key areas of the culture of peace, as defined by the UN Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace<\/a>. On the one hand, it is essential for the consciousness-raising and networking that can make the transition possible from the culture of war to a culture of peace, especially in the hands of the young generation<\/a>. On the other hand, its opposite, the control of information by the state and its commercial allies, has become the chief weapon of the culture of war<\/a>.<\/p>\n
In 2023, for the first time, we begin to see a global coordination of media <\/a> to oppose the culture of war control. The fact that the countries involved are those painted black or red in the above image of the “world press freedom index” reveals the true nature of this index as a form of hegemony.<\/p>\n Whistleblowers have often paid a heavy price for their contribution to the free flow of information; for example Mordecai Vanunu<\/a>, Edward Snowden and Julian Assange<\/a>, not to mention Chelsea Manning and the LuxLeakers mentioned in the articles below.<\/p>\n France: Coop-m\u00e9dias Invests in 5 Independent Media Outlets<\/a><\/p>\n The Amsterdam \u2018Pogrom\u2019 That Wasn\u2019t: Corporate Media Fails To Tell the Whole Story: The Israeli fans instigated the violence<\/a><\/p>\n Coop-medias, the citizen cooperative that wants to give \u201ca real breath of fresh air\u201d to independent media<\/a><\/p>\n At the F\u00eate de l\u2019Huma, independent media in full swing<\/a><\/p>\n Artists Pledge to Boycott German Institutions Over Stifling of Pro-Palestine Speech<\/a><\/p>\n RSF launches global \u201cCollateral Damage\u201d campaign highlighting the danger of the Assange prosecution to media and the public\u2019s right to know<\/a><\/p>\n New book: Nonviolent Journalism, a humanist approach to communication<\/a><\/p>\n Media Organizations From Global South Discuss Solidarity and Standing Up to Sanctions<\/a><\/p>\n Austrian Censorship of Peace Conference Is An Outrage<\/a><\/p>\n Leaks Reveal Reality behind U.S. Propaganda in Ukraine<\/a><\/p>\n Tribunal in Washington Calls on President Biden to End Prosecution of Julian Assange and to Defend Rights of Journalists and Whistleblowers<\/a><\/p>\n Nicaraguan regime sanctions audiovisual recordings`<\/a><\/p>\n Because \u2018Publishing Is Not a Crime,\u2019 Major Newspapers Push US to Drop Assange Charges<\/a><\/p>\n Position of World\u2019s Governments on Ukraine Considered Insane Pacifism in U.S.<\/a><\/p>\n Global Divide: 76% of Humanity (All Poorer Nations of Color) Voted to Not Exclude Russia from the UN Human Rights Council<\/a><\/p>\n March 17: The struggle for free flow of information about the Russian war against Ukraine<\/a><\/p>\n Russian regulator censors Ukraine war coverage, reporters told to toe Kremlin line<\/a><\/p>\n Chinese-Russian Text on Constructing a Community of Common Destiny for Mankind \u2013 A Crucial Peacebuilding Approach<\/a><\/p>\n US Must Take Russia\u2019s Security Concerns Seriously<\/a><\/p>\n L\u00f3pez Obrador and the offer of asylum to Julian Assange: honest politics in a time of double standards<\/a><\/p>\n Peace and Justice Organizations call for Freedom for Julian Assange<\/a><\/p>\n Number of journalists behind bars reaches global high<\/a><\/p>\n Film review: Oliver Stone\u2019s new JFK documentary<\/a><\/p>\n What I Saw on Election Day in Nicaragua<\/a><\/p>\n The Nobel Peace Prize 2021<\/a><\/p>\n Afghanistan and Julian Assange<\/a><\/p>\n US: Why Daniel Hale Deserves Gratitude, Not Prison<\/a><\/p>\n Key witness in Assange case admits to lies in indictment<\/a><\/p>\n Glen Greenwald : My New Book on Journalism, Exposing Corruption, and the Resulting Risks, Dangers and Societal Changes<\/a><\/p>\n Germany: Collateral Crucifixion \u2013 Pressuring for Julian Assange\u2019s Release!<\/a><\/p>\n India: Activist Disha Ravi, 22, Arrested Over Toolkit, Faces Conspiracy Charge<\/a><\/p>\n China to Expel New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal Reporters From Country<\/a><\/p>\n Mainstream media silence on OPCW Douma scandal \u2018ridiculous\u2019, says journalist gagged by Newsweek after scandalous leak<\/a><\/p>\n Groundswell of support for WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange<\/a><\/p>\n Daniel Ellsberg Speaks Out on the Arrest of Julian Assange<\/a><\/p>\n Remembering the Crimes of the Powerful Exposed by Wikileaks\u2019 Julian Assange<\/a><\/p>\n 2019 World Press Freedom Index \u2013 A cycle of fear<\/a><\/p>\n Chomsky: Arrest of Assange Is \u201cScandalous\u201d and Highlights Shocking Extraterritorial Reach of U.S.<\/a><\/p>\n UN experts warn Assange arrest exposes him to risk of serious human rights <\/a><\/p>\n Nobel Peace Laureate Maguire Requests UK Home Office for Permission to Visit Her Friend Nobel Peace Nominee Julian Assange ln Prison in London<\/a><\/p>\n Red Cross, UN Slam \u2018Politicised\u2019 USAID Humanitarian Assistance to Venezuela<\/a><\/p>\n What do the people of Venezuela want?<\/a><\/p>\n What the Press Hides from You about Venezuela \u2014 A Case of News-Suppression<\/a><\/p>\n US Media Ignore\u2014and Applaud\u2014Economic War on Venezuela<\/a><\/p>\n Cuba: International Conference for Peace and \u201cWorld Balance\u201d Supports Venezuela<\/a><\/p>\n Venezuela: An Open Letter to the People of the United States from President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro<\/a><\/p>\n US attack on Venezuela: alternative media coverage<\/a><\/p>\n More Than 300 Newspapers Denounce Trump Attacks on the Press<\/a><\/p>\n USA;
