Today is World News Day

WORLD NEWS DAY is an annual campaign to celebrate quality journalism around the world, promote media literacy, and recognise the vital role fact-based journalism plays in society.

It is observed annually on 28 September. This coincides with the UN’s Universal Day for Access to Information, which recognises journalism’s role in keeping the public informed.

World News Day is organised by a coalition of WAN-IFRA, the Canadian Journalism Foundation and Project Kontinuum, with the support of partners committed to promoting trustworthy journalism worldwide.
