International Press Institute

The IPI (International Press Institute) has it's annual world congress in Istanbul this weekend. safeguarding press freedom is at the core of the mission and the programme, of course, and people like Hrant Dink, Anna Politkovskaja (journalists killed in the course of their work in the last year, both of whom there are films on being screened for the first time at the congress - I think they can be downloaded from the link above) and Alan Johnston are given due attention.

Another interesting voice was raised on the Johnston case, by the way.
