#Happy WorldPress Freedom Day! World Press Freedom Day popularly known as World Press Day is one of the calendar events planned, organised and promoted by the United Nations, is observed annually on May 3. Freedom of the press is significant for keeping people informed. A free press monitors the administration and forces them to work for the betterment of a country like Somalia. As Thomas Jefferson once said “The press is the only tocsin of a nation. When it is completely silenced… all means of a general effort are taken away.” The press acts as a medium of communication between the government and the people. The free press has a huge responsibility of reporting the truth and shaping people’s opinions. Hence, to mark the importance of the press, World Press Freedom Day is celebrated every year. The theme of World Press Freedom Day for this year 2020 is, “Journalism without Fear or Favour.”
