World Press Freedom Day (May 3) was created in 1997 to “promote the free flow of information and its activities in the interest of press freedom, media independence, and pluralism” and to raise awareness of the dangers faced by journalists who are harassed, imprisoned, and even killed for telling the truth. Unesco hosts an annual event which serves to remind governments of their duty to respect and uphold the right to freedom of expression—print or the Internet.
