Reporters Without Borders

September 6, 2008 | Filed Under Give time/money, Plain cool 

Also known as Reporters San Fronteires, Reporters Without Borders is a registered French nonprofit organization with consultant status at the UN that advocates for freedom of the press.  They operate in all five continents to investigate and expose cases of media censorship and persecution.  Additionally, RSF supports the media by defending imprisoned and oppressed journalists, providing financial aid to media outlets, journalists, and families of imprisoned journalists, as well as working to improve the safety of journalists.

In order to fund their initiatives, Reporters Without Borders publishes photography albums twice a year and calendars and accepts donations, member dues, public grants and partnerships with private firms.  They also have their own blogging software; it’s overpriced, but goes towards a good cause, if you can change your perspective.
