"Media workers suffer character assassination, sexual-assault, detention, injuries and even death. We need leaders to defend a free media. This is crucial to counter prevailing misinformation. And we need everyone to stand for our right to truth. On World Press Freedom Day I call for an end to all crackdowns against journalists because a free press advances peace and justice for all." ~ António Guterres, UN Secretary-General, in a message to mark World Press Freedom Day
