The media is considered to be the fourth pillar of democracy. The phrase 'fourth pillar of democracy' means that free media is important for democracy. It works along with the government branches by sharing information, checking government actions, and ensuring accountability. The media is responsible for bringing the truth to the public, but they often encounter challenges like threats and censorship while doing so. It's crucial for governments and the public to support a safe environment for journalists to do their jobs well. World Press Freedom Day reminds us of the challenges journalists face and their vital role in keeping information flowing. Every year, we celebrate World Press Freedom Day on May 3. This year too, World Press Freedom Day 2024 will be celebrated on May 3, a Friday. As we celebrate, let's remember the difficulties journalists endure and support their work.
