What if journalism could prevent conflict?

When information breaks down: trust collapses, rumours spread, conflict follows.

Yet supporting journalism costs far less than war.
15 days of global military spending = 1 year of funding for public-interest journalism.

[UNESCO @UNESCO]

Freedom of expression has declined globally by 10% since 2012.

This steady trend reflects a growing challenge for access to information and the conditions that enable open, informed societies.

When freedom of expression weakens, so does the ability to share, seek and receive reliable information.

Protecting it means safeguarding the flow of information that supports understanding, accountability and dialogue.

🔴 @UNESCO announces the Sudanese Journalists Syndicate as the laureate of the UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World #PressFreedom Prize, in recognition of the role the collective has played in condemning the deliberate targeting of journalists in the ongoing conflict in the country.

Journalism shapes peace.

Access to reliable, verified information is not optional; it is fundamental to building peaceful, just and resilient societies.

When information is manipulated, it fuels division and erodes trust.

When it is free and truthful, it strengthens accountability, fosters dialogue and upholds human rights.

On #WorldPressFreedomDay, @UNESCO calls for the protection of freedom of expression and support for journalism as a pillar of peace.

🕯️ Juče je obeležen 🌍dan borbe protiv nekažnjivosti za zločine nad novinarima.

Više od 300 novinara izgubilo je život u protekle tri i po godine, a u više od polovine slučajeva počinioci nisu odgovarali.

Kada novinari nisu bezbedni, istina je prva žrtva.

[UNESCO @UNESCO]

AI is amplifying online violence against women journalists — spreading hate faster, cheaper and more widely than ever before.

Silencing one womanjournalist online issilencing a thousand women’s voices.
