Reporters Sans Frontières - World Press Freedom Day


World Press Freedom Day, 3 May, is an occasion for Reporters Without Borders to reaffirm the values it defends, the right to inform and the right to access information, without which democracy is impossible. It is also an occasion for us to reiterate our support for all those working for media freedom, both professional journalists and ordinary citizens who report news and expose the truth.

Since the start of 2010, nine journalists have paid with their lives for being outspoken while around 300 journalists and netizens are currently detained.
