Factors Affecting The Political Risk

In the past, freedom was not being persecuted for having different opinions and it was a new start, where everyone is equal. Freedom wasn’t in most parts of the world; in fact Freedom House showed the statistic of the freedom of the press from 1987 and 2014 and in 1987 fifty-seven percent of the worlds freedom of the press wasn’t free and in 2014 only thirty-two percent of the press wasn’t free.

“Words of Fire,” by Anthony Collings, details the lives of different journalists in regards to free press and covering potentially dangerous stories. Anthony Collings is a former CNN reporter who shifted his focus from reporting to telling the story of journalists who have come under fire in a power struggle between government and free press. Collings puts free press into a spectrum, on one side there is the United States, where the press is largely free, and on the other side there are places like North Korea or China where press is largely restricted by the government. Collings does not focus on these extremes, but rather the places in the middle where there is an ongoing struggle between state power.

As noted by Zikmund, Babbin, Carr & Griffin (2013), the importance of editing, coding and entering the data is to ensure that errors are checked. Saunders et al. (2009), on the other hand, note that no matter how carefully data is coded and entered, there will always be some errors which need to be checked and corrected before the data is analyzed. After this initial processing, the data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20. In the second step, to get a feel of the data, descriptive statistics was used. As explained by Saunders et al. (2009), descriptive statistics enable the researcher to numerically describe and compare the variables under study. This includes response rate; measures of central tendency, notably the mean; measures of dispersion, particularly the standard deviation for Likert scale variables in the questionnaire (Magutu, 2013; Gathenya, 2012). Descriptive statistics covered all response variables and the demographic characteristics of respondents, which were analyzed using cross tabulation. As explained by Magutu (2013, pp 84 ), ‘descriptive statistics provide the basic features of the data collected on the variables and provide the impetus for conducting further analyses on the

(Biography)“Truth should be a defense to the crime of seditious libel.” John Peter Zenger published criticisms of the government in 1735. Zenger was tried for libel and acquitted. His case did not necessarily establish freedom of the press or freedom of speech, but it did provide a small glimpse into the future of American freedoms. These freedoms allow us to acquire knowledge. (Abramowitz and Dunham)Countries like North Korea and China, who sensor and limit information, create an environment where the people are only given the narrow point of view of their dictators. Without open conversations and the ability to gain knowledge, people can be suppressed and deprived of basic human rights and subjected to the tyranny of their own government. The knowledge gained through free press and free speech has allowed us to cure diseases, travel by car, ship or plane and even land on the moon. Communication is a key fundamental necessity to democracy. When using the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press to be hateful and divisive, it is detrimental to democracy, and in other countries, has led to ongoing civil unrest.

Floyd Adrams says “The worst time for freedom of the press has almost all ways bine during times of war”.

In the mid-twentieth century, the news media were one of America’s most trusted institutions. The 1956 American National Election Study (ANES) found that 66% of Americans thought newspapers were fair, while only 27% said they were unfair. These views were bipartisan, with 78% of Republicans and 64% of Democrats viewing newspapers as fair. When the Roper Organization asked a similar question about network news in two 1964 polls, 71% and 61% of the public thought it was fair, while just 12% and 17% thought it was unfair. In 1973, when the General Social Survey (GSS) began regularly measuring con dence in various national institu- tions, only 15% of respondents had “hardly any” con dence in the press.

A risk analysis is a compilation of detailed factors weaved together to determine the likelihood of success or failure for a project, goal, or investment. Businesses use these to determine the viability or feasibility of a new product, initiative, or opening into a new market segment. A country risk analysis is simply the extension of a risk analysis to include an entire country. In essence, a country risk analysis is a tool used to identify the risks associated with opening a business, creating trade agreements, or investing in a country. A country risk analysis is very important because it takes into account many factors including the current and past political climate, economic risk, geography and climate risks, cultures, and laws pertaining to the country being analyzed. Often, countries are given a grade to enable a quick comparison to how risky investing in one country is compared to another country.
