Fener is one of the old suburbs on the Golden Horn, traditionally home to some of the prosperous Greeks of the Ottoman Empire. It is also the seat of the Ecumenical Orthodox Patriarchate. Many of the old mansions have now fallen into ruin, but Fener is still a very atmospheric place to wander around in.

Aenigma: Reporters Without Borders issues what it calls a "press freedom index". First this index does not pretend to measure individual rights, as opposed to institutional journalists. Second the RWB index does not pretend to measure government restrictions, but also all sorts of pressures on journalists including private, corporate, and non-government institutional pressures - of which there are admittedly many in the USA. My point about of freedom of expression is the near absence of government criminalisation of certain expressions - and that's it.
