Nicaragua at war with media, says CPJ report
How do you use the media to maintain an iron grip on your country? If you are Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, you bypass the independent media, defining them as enemies and moving aggressively to obstruct them, says a special report by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).

PLEDGE TO UPHOLD PRESS FREEDOM; GOVERNMENT ADVERTISING POLICY CRITICISED
The three Nicaraguan presidential candidates for the upcoming November elections have unanimously pledged to uphold press freedom, reports the Inter American Press Association (IAPA). Sandinista Front candidate Daniel Ortega, Enrique Bolaños of the Constitutionalist Liberal Party and the Conservative Party's Noel Vidaurre all signed the Declaration of Chapultepec on press freedom principles at former President Violeta Chamorro's home on 4 July. However, IAPA points out that Nicaragua currently complies with only three of the ten Chapultepec principles. Of particular concern to the organisation are the lack of access to public records, election campaign news blackouts and a new law requiring journalists to belong to a "colegio" (guild) in order to work legally.
