The owner of a Brazilian newspaper, Valerio Nascimento, was shot in the back and killed by unidentified gunmen on Tuesday, designated as World Press Freedom Day.
Nascimento had published only four issues of his paper Panorama Geral, which was critical of local authorities in Sao Paulo state. One story claimed the city of Bananal had failed to invest in health and sewage treatment centres.
