The UN followed their lead and accepted the call to declare 3 May as World Press Freedom Day. The Declaration emphasised that information is a public good to which everyone is entitled, and this was the theme for this year’s celebration of World Press Freedom Day. Too often, and in too many countries, journalists work in an environment that imperils both their lives and their livelihoods. In this same period, Liberia slipped three spots, to 95 of 180 countries surveyed, in the 2021 Reporters Without Borders’ annual World Press Freedom Index. In everything we do in Liberia, we work with the Government to help expand peoples’ options and opportunities.
