Medias: Press Freedom, by Adina Queen Le Gare

Le 03 septembre 2011 par IvoireBusiness - The Universal Declaration of Human Rights States: “Everyone has the right

to freedom of opinion and expression. This right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference, and impart information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers”.

According to The Committee to Protect Journalists, A strong Press Freedom environment encourages the growth of a robust Civil Society, which leads to stable sustainable democracies, healthy social, political, and economic development. The Committee to Protect Journalists works in more than 120 countries. Many of which suffer under repressive regimes, debilitating Civil War, or other problems that harm Press Freedom and Democracy. http://www.cpj.org/about/contact.php

The role of the Press remains the same throughout the world in terms of their importance to society. The Press must be loyal to the People by providing them with information, and knowledge. Anyone that threatens Freedom of Speech which is basic Human Rights seeks to have control over the People. The responsibility of the Press is to bring all things to the attention of the People so that they can be enlightened.
