Powerful stories showcasing the power of journalism to make a difference (from previous campaigns):
“As the world around us grows more complex and crisis ridden, audiences seek out credible voices to help them make sense of developments. This is how professional newsrooms make a difference. They interpret events and help people join the dots, adding perspective and context. World News Day is a timely reminder of why good journalism matters.”
WARREN FERNANDEZ, PRESIDENT, WORLD EDITORS FORUM & EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, THE STRAITS TIMES.
“Undoubtedly, journalism matters to every citizen of the world. Without facts, freedom and democracy can fail. Journalism at its best can — and does — make a difference in the lives of individuals, our communities, our countries, and the future of our planet. This year, on World News Day 2022, we celebrate the power of fact-based journalism to make a difference.”
KATHY ENGLISH, CHAIR, THE CANADIAN JOURNALISM FOUNDATION.
