World Media Agree that FIFA Censorship Stinks

By: WC Bob | February 24th, 2006 | No Comments »

Newspapers and media around the world have joined World Cup Blog in denouncing FIFA’s attempts to limit the photos and images they are allowed to display during the World Cup. The World Association of Newspapers (WAN), representing 18,000 newspapers and 11 news agencies, wrote to FIFA president Sepp Blatter on Thursday to urge him to improve access, or risk legal action. We aren’t sure if Sepp is “too busy” to address this matter, but we hope that someone at FIFA interrupts his golf game to get this matter sorted out. Regardless of how the potential legal action turns out, World Cup Blog will publish photos from the games we attend while they happen. Freedom of press is something we don’t take lightly in these parts.
