If journalism has to thrive as public good, then it is important that journalists are alive to do their job.
For the last two decades, I have been an ardent advocate of May 3 celebrations. I endorse the UNESCO’s affirmation that this day acts as a reminder to governments of the need to respect their commitment to press freedom and it is also a day of reflection among media professionals about issues of press freedom and professional ethics. The home page of UNESCO on Press Freedom Day points out how this day is an important support for media who are targets for the restraint, or abolition, of press freedom. One of the key acts on this day is to remember and honour journalists who lost their lives to bring us stories.
