Freedom of the Press 2003 could not have been completed without the contributions of numerous Freedom House staff and consultants. Freedom House would like to thank the Freedom Forum, the World Press Freedom Committee, and Bette Bao Lord for their generous contributions towards our ongoing work to promote freedom of expression. Additional support for this year’s survey was provided by The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, the Lilly Endowment, and the F. M. Kirby Foundation. This year’s survey was written by Karin Deutsch Karlekar, Peter Doran, Jeff Moorhead, Leonard R. Sussman, and Michael Goldfarb. Freedom House would also like to thank Ronald Koven, European representative of the World Press Freedom Committee, and Thomas A. Dine, president of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, for their contributions. (Acknowledgments, fragment)
