Thank you Ursula von der Leyen for recognising the work of Journalists! I am very privileged to live in a country where we as young people are safe to share our thoughts freely. Through some work I do with @yjinow.bsky.social I have seen first hand the problems in certain countries with freedom.
Today, on World Press Freedom Day, we honour the women and men who dedicate their lives to the truth.
They work tirelessly to keep us well-informed.
They hold power to account.
They speak up. They challenge the status quo.
And sometimes they pay the ultimate price for it.
