Global campaign World News Day kicks off this Tuesday

The World News Day campaign was launched this Tuesday to draw public attention to the role journalists play in disseminating credible news that serves citizens and democracy.

The campaign runs until September 28, World Journalism Day, and involves hundreds of media organizations, media support associations and individuals from more than 100 countries, who have committed to raising awareness of the importance of disseminating reliable news.

World News Day is presented by the World Editors Forum, the Canadian Journalism Foundation (CJF) and the Continuum Project and includes the dissemination of materials such as videos, opinion pieces, advertisements and social media content.
