3-1: 'The Press in Estonia - How Free is it Really?'

Stuart Garlick and Maris Hellrand talk again to Eesti Ekspress journalist Holger Roonemaa. Two of Holger's colleagues were recently fined for publishing a story suggesting that managers in Estonia's largest bank were being investigated for money-laundering. The court ruling that led to the fines has serious implications for journalism's ability to express truth about power.

This comes in the same month that Estonia was named the country with the fourth-freest press of those surveyed by Reporters Without Borders.
