Seit 12 Jahren wird, durch die UNESCO initiiert, am 3. Mai der Internationale Tag der Pressefreiheit begangen.
A free press is not a luxury that can wait for better times; rather, it is part of the very process which can bring about better times. Freedom of the press should not be viewed solely as the freedom of journalists to report and comment. It is strongly correlated with the public’s right of access to knowledge and information.
