Not great when some of the only people signing your agreement come from countries like Turkey, which accounts for one-third of all journalists imprisoned around the world.
A reporter for the Turkish newspaper Akşam signed the agreement, as did three individuals from the Turkish state-run Anadolu Agency and two Turkish freelancers. Other signers included a reporter for the Australian, a News Corp-owned Australian paper; an Afghan freelancer.
