We are currently facing an unprecedented health crisis.
The COVID-19 pandemic spreading across the world also
represents a new challenge for the press, which was
already battling smear campaigns and defamation.
Today, citizens are on lockdown, eager for news like never
before. And more than ever, the news must be factchecked, verified. Because disinformation spreads as fast as
the virus itself, and journalists are on the frontline in the
fight against the distortion of truth.
More than ever we need facts.
Facts to avoid spreading fear, « fake news » and panic.
More than ever we need a free press.
More than ever do we need your support for World Press
