At the very start of #SGKM2025, National Councillor @jonpultnr.bsky.social sent a strong message. He underlined the importance of a strong media system for democracy – especially in times of uncertainty, disinformation, and geopolitical tension. 🎯

Today is World Press Freedom Day.

Press freedom is essential for democracy. It is under (economic, political) threat in many places.

In fact press freedom is declining and only very few countries have high degrees of press freedom.
