Silent Observance: The Implications of Press Freedom Day's Low Profile

World Press Freedom Day on May 3 served as a crucial reminder of the importance of press freedom globally. While various countries observed this occasion with rallies and solidarity statements, Saint Lucia experienced a muted response. The decline of its vibrant media association has left a void. Government encroachment and the rise of unqualified media entities further confuse journalism with PR. As technology evolves, the media must harness its benefits while combating misinformation. A unified, dynamic representation for journalists is vital for safeguarding democracy and advocating for legislative changes.
