António Guterres Instagram – Around the world, media workers are more and more risking their lives trying to bring us news on everything from war to democracy.
The @unitednations recognizes the invaluable work of journalists and media professionals to ensure that the public is informed and engaged.
Without facts, we cannot fight mis- and disinformation.
Without accountability, we will not have strong policies in place.
Without press freedom, we won’t have any freedom.
A free press is not a choice, but a necessity.
On Friday’s #WorldPressFreedom Day, I call on governments, the private sector and civil society to reaffirm our commitment to safeguarding press freedom and the rights of journalists and media professionals around the world. | Posted on 03/May/2024 06:08:23
