The Day of the press ...

The celebration of this Day rises from the adoption by the general Conference of UNESCO (1991) of a resolution on promotion of the freedom of the press in the world, which recognized that a free, pluralist and independent press was an essential component of any democratic company.
Consequently, December 20, 1993, the General meeting proclaimed on May 3 world Journée of the freedom of the press.
The Committee of information devotes one half-day of meeting, thus paying homage to the journalists of the whole world who are likely their life by professional choice in the spirit to promote freedom of movement of information.
