It happens in almost all over the world that the governments want to control the free press and also want to manipulate to suppress the stories which do not favor it. Those who comply with the unspoken and unwritten orders are given some favors and those who want to be in the line of fair duties of journalism face problems and sometimes are murdered as well. President Obama signed a new law, named after Daniel Pearl. The new law is called Daniel Pearl Freedom of Press Act and it will deal with the records of the countries where the media is not treated fairly. The law does not force the countries outside USA to comply but it arms the authorities to collect the records and report the violations. The countries and governments must ensure that media and press are not being repressed.
