Philippines editor shot dead at home

The editor of a weekly newspaper in the southern Philippines has been shot dead, the latest in a string of journalist murders in the country. Hernani Pastolero, 64, was editor-publisher of the Lightning Courier, a paper he launched after years as a radio journalist and editor of several publications. He was sitting in front of his home when attacked. International media watchdogs have described the Philippines as among the most dangerous places in the world for reporters. (Via Boston Globe)
