Like other parts of the country, World Press Free-dom Day was observed across northern Sindh on Friday to encourage press freedom initiatives and spur assessments of the state of press freedom.
On the day, journalist organisations arranged differ-ent seminars, conferences, walks and several other programmes, highlighting the importance of freedom of the press and the role of media and its re-sponsibilities. This year the day has been dedicated to the impor-tance of journalism and freedom of expression in the context of the current global environmental crisis.
