World Press Freedom Day

SABEW pauses on World Press Freedom Day to reflect on the critical role business journalists play in covering Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

#WorldPressFreedomDay on May 3^rd acts as a reminder to governments of the need to respect their commitment to press freedom and is also a day of reflection among media professionals about issues of press freedom and professional ethics.

Just as importantly, World Press Freedom Day is a day of support for media which are targets for the restraint, or abolition, of press freedom. It is also a day of remembrance for those journalists who lost their lives in the pursuit of a story.
