Definition

  • Reporters Without Borders (RWB) (Reporters sans frontières) is an international organization that promotes freedom of the press and freedom of information. Founded by four journalists (Robert Ménard, Rémy Loury, Jacques Molénat, and Émilien Jubineau) in France (Montpellier) in 1995, and registered as a nonprofit organization, it soon took on an international dimension and gained consultant status at the United Nations and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
