Freedom on the net 2013

Posted on by

03 October 2013 | Freedom on the Net 2013 is the fourth report in a series of comprehensive studies of internet freedom around the globe and covers developments in 60 countries that occurred between May 2012 and April 2013. Over 60 researchers, nearly all based in the countries they analyzed, contributed to the project by researching laws and practices relevant to the digital media, testing the accessibility of select websites, and interviewing a wide range of sources, among other research activities. This edition's findings indicate that internet freedom worldwide is in decline, with 34 out of 60 countries assessed in the report experiencing a negative trajectory during the coverage period. Broad surveillance, new laws controlling web content, and growing arrests of social-media users drove this overall decline in internet freedom in the past year. Nonetheless, Freedom on the Net 2013 also found that activists are becoming more effective at raising awareness of emerging threats and, in several cases, have helped forestall new repressive measures.

Lenny Henry's freedom of home town

Comedian and actor Lenny Henry has been officially given the freedom of his home town of Dudley.

He was given the honour for his "outstanding contribution to charity" and services to entertainment, the council said.

Henry said that his home town "has fuelled everything I've done for 36 or 37 years".

"I've always been proud of being from Dudley - this just cements it," he said.

He was presented with a scroll at a ceremony at the town hall, and his name has been added to to the plaque listing the freemen of the borough.

Peter Collins, who lives in the town said: "There aren't many famous people from around here, so it's fair enough I say - good on him."

Another local told the BBC Mr Henry's charity work has made him "quite a popular man around here".

Henry said it was "fantastic" for someone who was "brought up working class in Dudley" to be given the honour.

"This just wasn't on the cards for me because I worked in a factory as a welder and then I had this incredible blessing, so this feels like the cherry on the sundae," he added.

Freedom Project expands to Meridian

Posted on by

MERIDIAN With its expansion into Meridian formally announced Monday at the Phil Hardin Foundation offices on North Park Drive, The Freedom Project successfully added their first site to the newly formed Freedom Project Network.

Meridian Freedom Project founders joined supporters and dignitaries Monday at noon to welcome program to the area.

"This program will not only enrich the lives of the students who participate but also the community," said Robert Ward, president of the Phil Hardin Board of Directors. "We will be replicating the Sunflower program of the Freedom Project which has proven itself to be hugely successful."

In 1998, Sunflower County Freedom Project founders and Teach For America alumni Chris Myers-Asch, Shawn Raymond and Gregg Costa set out to establish a program to create more pathways to college for their students in Sunflower County. Fifteen years later, 100 percent of the students completing the Freedom Fellowship, a six-year-commitment to the Freedom Project, go on to attend four-year colleges and universities across the country.

The Meridian Freedom Project is a year-round after-school program for middle school and high school students in the Meridian Public School District. Slated to open in June 2014, the program seeks to build a corps of academically capable, socially conscious and mentally disciplined young leaders in Meridian.

"This is a great program and the district has always recognized the children need more than just the normal eight to three school curriculum," said Dr. Alvin Taylor, superintendent of the Meridian School District. "About ninety percent of the students are at poverty level and this program will enable them to take advantage of unique opportunities."

The Meridian Freedom Project will begin during the summer of 2014. The Freedom Projects are led by Teach For America Alumna who returned to their roots to teach in the Mississippi and Arkansas Delta. The Meridian Freedom Project is made up of board members, Amy Elliott, chairman; Dr. Bill Scaggs, president emeritus of Meridian Community College; and Flo Bradley, CEO of FloBradley.com, who established an administrative collaboration with The Montgomery Institute.

The Meridian Freedom Project is geared to students in grades sixth through 12th in the Meridian Public School District, beginning with those in grades sixth through eighth and progressing with them until they graduate from high school.

The Meridian Freedom Project is funded in part by The Phil Hardin Foundation, The Montgomery Institute, Parents for Public Schools and AT&T.

Anna Stephenson, who serves as program development director of the Meridian Freedom Project, has seen the project in Sunflower blossom to what it is today.
