      Electra in Paris, Zimbabwe's only private daily newspaper, 
      The Daily News, was awarded the 2003 Reporters Without 
      Borders - Foundation de France Prize for being "a media 
      that best exemplifies the struggle for the freedom of 
      expression and the right to be informed."

      Government of Zimbabwe on Sept 12 and has been fighting in 
      courts to resume publication.

      and editors.  Retired American Foreign Service Officer 
      George Newman conducted the workshop. Septel to follow.
