From my article in The Sunday Times today:
“Firstly, the government is careful not to improve conditions of media freedom still reeling from the killing by car bomb of a journalist they described as their harshest critic. Reform bills in parliament are kept off the floor for years. An inquiry’s set of recommendations are still ignored. A package of promised reforms remains a closely guarded secret. A committee to analyse those promised reforms includes people who argue the media should be restrained rather than liberated.”
