Dear Friends, Colleagues!
May 3 is observed every year as International Press Freedom Day to remind us of the challenges journalists are faced with everyday in bringing the news to our doorstep. Many lives continue to be lost as ruthless and anti-democratic regimes clamp down on journalists with such brutal force, terror and death; simply bcos the journalist would like to know what’s beneath the Emperor’s clothes.
These ruthless regimes have created a culture of silence and fear inorder to perpetually keep their oppressed people in total darkness from their evil and corrupt ways. But despite it all, a defiant and courageous press continues to prove beyond doubt; that truth has the power to shed light on the darkest pits and corners of our world; and so inspite of the contrivance of these monolithic regimes, yet no corner in the world has been left untouched by these journalists who take such steadfast personal risks to bring truth to light the world.

Wherever there is freedom of the press in the world, scarcity is its greatest threat , a peril that affects both public and private media and that can only be tackled with the structural strength of journalistic companies , says the president of Agencia EFE, Gabriela Cañas.
May 3 is International Press Freedom Day, a right that does not exist in many countries. But when it is taken for granted in others, it exposes you to all kinds of pressures, and that is fatal, because you also have an appearance of freedom that deep down you don t have, which is almost the worst thing, Cañas says in an interview.
