Ivan reports on the UNESCO World Press Freedom Day conference in Manila on terrorism and the media, where Zimbabwean editor Geoffrey Nyarota received the Guillermo Cano prize. He summarises sessions on Abu Sayyaf kidnappings of journalists and on media ‘oxygen’ for terrorism, recounts his own speech as a former insurgent jailed for seven years who argued that terrorism has social roots and was nurtured by great powers, and describes post-September 11 curbs on information in the United States and elsewhere, ending with the conference declaration.
