Guyana removes state adverts from newspaper

Guyana's government has withdrawn all advertising from the country's leading daily newspaper, the Stabroek News. The move, which began a month ago, is viewed seriously by international media watchdogs. It is "politically motivated", says David DeCaires, the paper's editor-in-chief. The International Press Institute has criticised the move as "unfair" and a danger to press freedom. Other bodies, such as Reporters Without Borders and the Association of Caribbean Media Workers have also condemned the Guyana government. (Via Boston Globe)
