Foto: Photocase A fatal year for investigative and critical journalism has passed — and January 2007 does not promise a better. The number of killed journalists in 2006 was the highest for more than a decade and the oldest newspaper of the world published its last issue. This special focuses on those who use their right to express freely what they have in mind, not intimidated by authority, violence, death threats, emargination or economical ruin. Exclusively in this issue:   The danger of being a reporter in Russia and Cecenia — Interview with Mainat Abdulajewa   The fight of bourgeois tv in Venezuela against Chávez   Political control on the Italian TV — Interview with Sabina Guzzanti
