UNESCO marked the World Press Freedom Day 2021 with a five-day conference that had Information as a Public Good as theme.
With panels and speakers from Joseph Stiglitz, the Economics Nobel laureate for his work in power asymmetries, to Facebook’s External Affairs chief, Nick Clegg, the conversations were enlightening.
The UN Brief interviewed Vincent Defourny, Director of UNESCO Geneva Liaison Office to discuss the overarching issues around Information as a Public Good, from the right to information in a democracy to ensuring that journalists and the news media as a public service thrives.
The World Press Freedom Day discussions centered around public health and human rights issues as well with the release of a new report on women journalists, who are disproportionately victims of online hate.
