That's right. But I think there are a very wide ranging consequences because even though these are local journalists in fact, 97 percent of them are. The local journalists are the ones who ferret out the news stories that are eventually covered by the international press that you and I you know rely on for our international news. So it's not just a matter of you know local stories that aren't getting covered locally which obviously is to the detriment of those populations. But these days news like all other goods and services you know travel across borders and we need that news to flow freely.
