New and improved page for glasnost group

A colleague recently sent me a link to the new web page for the Glasnost Defense Foundation. This is an organization that has been trying to protect the rights & lives of journalists in Russia since 1999. I was working with the group this fall, helping it set up a training program. The people in the organization are wonderfully dedicated, working under challenges that most Western journalists can only imagine.

I was very pleased to see the new training program advertised on the web page, and pleased to see the revamped site. It's a big improvement. For one thing, it isn't riddled with computer worms and viruses. Yet. I believe the new site will also be a target for hackers who object to the GDF's mission of protecting free speech.
