Jolie accused of hypocrisy over press 'gag'

The New York premiere of the film, on Wednesday, was held to support the organisation Reporters Without Borders, which defends journalists against persecution and combats censorship and laws that undermine press freedom.

But several journalists covering the premiere objected when Jolie’s lawyer demanded they sign pre-interview contracts limiting exactly what they could and could not ask her. —Catherine ElsworthJolie accused of hypocrisy over press ‘gag’ (Telegraph)

Bravo to the reporters who refused to sign the contract and declined the opportunity to promote the movie.
