Happy World News Day everybody! With over 800 organizations joining this initiative, World News Day is a critical reminder of the importance of authentic, fact-checked journalism in a time when the truth is under attack. I hope you take the time today to read this letter from the Daily Maverick’s Branko Brkic, who I interviewed for GT Weekly this week, and Nobel laureate and journalist Maria Ressa, who writes about how this day services as a collective reminder to reassure people what us journalist are committed to; News, Facts, Accountability, Public Service, Humanity, Scrutiny, Independence, Ethics & Community. [https://lnkd.in/eRF-HrpJ] “Even as journalism everywhere is struggling to maintain its standing and relevance, every day we get to feel the joy of shared truth with our communities. Lives are saved, democracies protected and ordinary people’s existence improved. We must never lose sight of these ideals — and we must fight for them,” Branko writes.

This week I had a chance to sit down with the legendary South African editor and innovator in journalism, Branko Brkic, the founder of South Africa’s Daily Maverick, which is a host newsroom for our Report for the World program. To mark World News Day tomorrow and to sound the alarm on the crisis in journalism that is unfolding not just in the United States but in every corner of the globe, he is launching a new initiative called “Choose Truth.” "Perhaps the biggest issue that all of us right now are concerned about is the frontal attack on truth and the meaning of truth,” said Branko. “And this is basically the beginning of a much longer campaign whose goal is to educate people and readers all over the world and to actually give a certain level of encouragement to our brothers and sisters all over the world who, right now, mostly feel as a part of the profession under attack.” https://lnkd.in/ebexTBrc #worldnewsday #journalism #media #pressfreedom
