Journalists and media practitioners across the world yesterday commemorated the annual World Press Day. This year’s World Press Freedom Day was celebrated under the theme, ‘information as a public good’.
The day is celebrated principally as a reminder to governments of the need to respect their commitment to press freedom and to show support for media, which are constant targets for censorship, restraints, threats, and brutality by security forces.
