Every story matters, and every journalist deserves to tell it without fear. On this international day to end impunity for crimes against journalists, let’s pledge to protect press freedom and hold accountable those who threaten it.
We call on all media and press freedom organizations to unite in defending the rights of journalists who risk their safety to keep the public informed.
