Powerful stories showcasing the power of journalism to make a difference (from previous campaigns):
“In a world overloaded with information and events, many of them challenging, citizens need facts, certainty and perspective. Quality journalism offers that and more. On World News Day, we come together as citizens to remember why such journalism matters and why it's worth supporting ethical, trustworthy and truth-seeking news media.”
MARTHA RAMOS, PRESIDENT, WORLD EDITORS FORUM & CHIEF EDITORIAL OFFICER, ORGANIZACIÓN EDITORIAL MEXICANA.
“Journalism matters. Facts matter. Truth matters. Without the verified facts that can reveal truth, freedom and democracy can fail. Quality journalism that seeks truth can — and does — make a difference to the citizens of the world. This year, on World News Day 2024, we urge you to choose truth and support your favourite news outlet.”
KATHY ENGLISH, CHAIR, THE CANADIAN JOURNALISM FOUNDATION.
