World News Day 2020 falls today, September 28th. The global campaign has been organised to highlight the role of fact-based journalism and professional newsrooms in helping citizens make sense of the world. It is a day to reaffirm support for journalists who are part of society, not outside it. Spearheaded by the Canadian Journalism Foundation, the World Editors Forum and the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers, World News Day brings together more than 100 journalistic organisations, including The Irish Times.
