Freedom of expression in contexts of 'democratic suspension': between dissimulation, denouncements and violation of the right to information in the production of Bissau Guinean newspapers
Miguel de Barros
(National Institute of Studies and Research)
Paper short abstract:
The current communication aims at analysing from within, the editorial and journalistic production of the written press in Guinea Bissau in the periods in which Guine Bissau went through situations of 'Coup d'Etats'.
Paper long abstract:
The current article aims at analysing from within, the editorial and journalistic production of the written press in light of the human rights violations and consequently the freedom of the press, comparing the behaviour of public newspapers 'No Pintcha' and private ones 'Gazeta de Noticias' and 'Diario de Bissau' in the periods in which Guine Bissau went through situations of 'Coup d'Etats' and consequent establishment of transition governments with much influence of the military in governance and public life. The article also refers to the positioning of Civil Society Organizations, such as the 'Liga Guineense dos Direitos Humanos' in face of the most critical cases in which public and private editors had differing positionings.
