For World Press Freedom Day, NAA, WAN-IFRA and RSF Appeal to the UN
They're asking the UN to create a press protector position.
It’s World Press Freedom Day, and this year’s marking of the annual event feels bleak, considering the declining state of press freedom over this past year as well as the preceding years.
The day is meant to both celebrate free press (where it exists), measure the state of press freedom, advocate for more of it and honor journalists killed in the line of journalistic duty. The day was made UN-General-Assembly official in 1993, based off of a UNESCO call, which itself was inspired by the 1991 Windhoek Declaration, which came out of a meeting of African journalists.
