Today is World Press Freedom Day Producing, publishing, and having the right consume news depends upon a series of freedoms - freedom of expression, freedom of inquiry, and freedom of the press. There are many places in the world where these freedoms do not exist. Even in countries regarded as open, press freedom is often under threat and cannot be taken for granted. Threats to press freedom include the harassment of journalists through physical intimidation, the mistrust and delegitimisation of journalism, and the publication of disinformation and misinformation designed to overwhelm accurate reporting.

We stand and work every day for independent journalism and the right of every human to access truthful information. Welcome back to FairPlanet's weekly newsletter. A place for you to Read.
