At a time when journalism has never been more important… we’re standing up for the journalists who make it all happen. Watch our new animation celebrating journalists.
Launching the campaign, the charity’s CEO, James Brindle said…
“I think the question everyone needs to ask themselves is where would we be without journalism? Has there ever been a greater need to hold power to account? To expose truth? To probe into dark corners and route out injustice?
As an industry I think we should take every opportunity to remind the public about the vital role being played by journalists day in day out, because it’s all too easy to take it for granted. It’s been a very tough few years for the sector, so at a time when the world needs good journalists at every level more than ever, we want to highlight just how important the media is to democracy and freedom.”
Our new animation celebrates the dedication and commitment of journalists from every sector who work tirelessly to uncover facts, report the truth, and hold power to account.
It also highlights our vital role in supporting journalists nationwide, a part we’ve been playing for 160 years.
Thank you.
