To mark World Press Freedom Day, take a tour of some events that are chilling - or warming - the climate for free media in countries around the globe.
The theme of this year’s UNESCO World Press Freedom Day [3 May] is deceptively simple: Let Journalism Thrive. Journalists need to be able to do their work, in the public interest, without interference or fear. But many obstacles make this hard – even impossible. And when that happens, we all lose. In a Story Map specially created for World Press Freedom Day, we take you on a world tour of events that IFEX members report are chilling – or, in some cases, warming – the climate for free media in countries around the globe.
Check out the Story Map.
