Press freedom more relevant than ever in digital era, UN stresses

United Nations, New York, 3 May 2011. Freedom of expression remains as important as ever in the digital age, serving as a basis for democracy and human dignity everywhere, senior United Nations officials stressed today as the Organization observed World Press Freedom Day with a series of events around the globe.

From a book fair in Egypt to a march in Timor-Leste, and from an exhibition of photographs and blog entries in Moldova to a conference in Ecuador and a training session for journalists in Nigeria, the UN is staging events to coincide with this year's theme -- "21st Century Media: New Frontiers, New Barriers."
