Petition calls on Obama stop intimidation of journalists and whistleblowers

The Committee to Protect Journalists , the New York-based press freedom body, has launched a petition today calling on President Obama's administration to respect journalists' right to gather and report news. It should prohibit the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organisations; it must limit prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers; and it must halt the harassment of journalists at the US border.
