#WorldPressFreedomDay: Aktuell gerät die #Pressefreiheit weltweit immer stärker unter Druck: Journalistïnnen werden eingeschränkt und bedroht. Bereits in 90 Ländern ist die Situation für Medienschaffende laut Reporter ohne Grenzen „schwierig“ oder „sehr ernst“: #WPFD https://www.riffreporter.de/de/schlagworte/pressefreiheit

Today is World Press Freedom Day.

Press freedom is essential for democracy. It is under (economic, political) threat in many places.

In fact press freedom is declining and only very few countries have high degrees of press freedom.

Without trustworthy journalism, people lose access to reliable information — and the ability to participate fully in civic life.

World Press Freedom Day is a time to recognize journalism’s role in protecting democracy and to support those doing the work with integrity.

Today, on #WorldPressFreedomDay, I want to honor the Palestinian journalists and media workers in #Gaza who’ve shown us for the past 200+ days what true, courageous, and determined journalism is. We won’t forget you, and we will keep telling your story.

I also want to acknowledge my colleagues at @mediadefence, who work passionately to provide legal support to journalists and independent media worldwide. I couldn’t be prouder to serve you as Board Trustee.

🇬🇧 On #PressFreedomDay, it's a disgrace for the West that Julian #Assange remains in prison for his unwelcome revelations!
"Intimidating the press is to keep us ignorant" Stella Assange told me. Only #transparency will allow us to control those in power!
