Reporters Without Borders or RSF define themselves as an international, nongovernmental organization of French origin whose objective is to defend the freedom of press in the world and, in particular, defend the journalists persecuted by their professional activity . It was founded by his present Secretary General, Robert Menard, and has his permanent seat in Paris.
At the beginning of century XIX, a journalist was somebody who wrote in publications, but in the last century a journalist has become so much more than a writer for newspapers or magazines.
Journalist is the person who dedicates itself to the media, in anyone of its forms. Written press, radio , television or any media. The journalist dedicates itself basically to the search of information, tendencies, topics of public interest, personalities, and to his later diffusion. A journalist resorts to trustworthy and verifiable journalistic sources. Thus it elaborates its news articles, that can take several forms for their diffusion: oral, written, visual.
