i like to cite columbia as an example. when i started at cpj, which was well over a decade ago, colombia was the focus. iran the latin america program and colombia was a country that was living through a period of tremendous violence, a civil war that had sort of morphed with a major drug crisis, and the levels of violence were absolutely extraordinary. much of the violence affected a journalist. we saw a large number of journalists killed. we saw a state whose institutions were essentially unable to function. what's happened in colombia is as the levels of violence had subsided, the issues of press freedom, freedom of expression and impunity had sort of come to the fore and we've seen some significant stones -- steps in terms of reducing levels of violence against journalists better in terms of creating a more open environment for reporting outside of the capital, without. so colombia is a place we can point to some positive trends. >> then let's take the anti-half of the class. you have a pretty good description of how h
