Go to article People need a free press to be informed and to make informed decisions. At the same time, journalists around the world are targeted by authoritarian leaders who try to silence critical voices. These journalists are threatened, abused, threatened with imprisonment and some are killed. A great many must leave their homeland. Indeed a free press is most critical in times of crisis and conflict.
