The main event on World Press Freedom Day is the awarding of the UNESCO Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize. The prize was founded in honor of the Colombian journalist who died in 1986. It is awarded to an individual, organization or institution that has made a significant contribution to protecting or promoting press freedom around the world, especially if such activities involve risk or repression. #PressFreedom #MediaLiteracy #InformationAsAPublicGood #HumphreyLegacy #HumphreyExchange #ExchangeOurWorld humphreyfellowship exchangeourworld
