Joyce Banda scores on media freedom As the world commemorates Press Freedom day, President Joyce Banda continues to shine on Press Freedom, a contrasting trait when compared to her predecessors.

The annual index of media freedom is compiled by the Reporters Without Borders, an international NGO that monitors and examine press freedom globally.
