The foundation of a healthy democracy is a free and vibrant press. It serves as the voice of the people, holding those in power accountable and shining a light on the truth. In order for the press to fulfill this crucial role, the government must respect its freedom.
When the press is free to report without fear of censorship or retribution, it can act as a watchdog, uncovering corruption and injustice. Journalists play a vital role in informing the public and shaping public opinion. They provide a platform for diverse voices and perspectives, fostering a more informed and engaged citizenry.
Without a free press, the government is able to operate without scrutiny, potentially leading to abuse of power and erosion of democratic principles.
