Reaffirming Press Freedom on World Press Freedom Day: A Call to Action

A #FreePress is fundamental to democracy. From local to global, independent journalism is essential to informing communities, seeding dialogue, nurturing trust, and holding leaders accountable.

Yet, according to a new report from UNESCO, freedom of expression is in sharp decline globally, a fall-off comparable to that seen during the most unstable periods of the 20th century, including the two world wars.

On this #WorldPressFreedomDay, we join global communities and allies in reaffirming freedom of expression as a cornerstone of a free and fair society.

Our Community actively invests in quality local #journalism and an information environment that supports trust, truth, democracy, and human rights, including through our partnership with Press Forward.
