Today is World Press Freedom day. It is a day meant to raise the awareness of how important the freedom of the press is and also to remind world governments about their duty to uphold and respect the right to freedom of expression.
Press freedom in many countries has gone through challenges as to whether the press is indeed free to air what they want and how they want it. Governments have been an obstacle to the press, with journalists all over the world being gagged, detained or even imprisoned for what they have posted online or published in the newspaper.
