World Press Freedom Day

Analyzing the concept of Freedom of Expression as applied to the arts in their different forms and modalities can be a problem. From different areas of expertise, the speakers are offering their reflections on the subject.

 A free and uncensored press is essential to ensure freedom of opinion and expression. States should never penalize media outlets, publishers or journalists for reporting or disseminating critical views and dissenting opinions. States should also put in place laws that protect the diversity and plurality of the media, such as laws that prevent undue dominance by privately controlled media groups.
