DESCRIPTION:Journalism: Shaping a World at Peace\n \nFreedom of expressio
 n and independent media are cornerstones of democratic societies\, enablin
 g informed public debate\, accountability\, and citizen participation. Yet
 \, at a time when democratic norms are under increasing pressure globally\
 , journalists and media actors face growing threats\, including political 
 interference\, economic precarity\, gender-based violence\, environmental 
 risks\, and digital transformations that reshape the information ecosystem
 .\nThe 2022/2025 World Trends Report Journalism: Shaping a World at Peace\
 , produced by UNESCO\, is the flagship global assessment of media freedom\
 , journalism safety\, pluralism\, and media viability. Drawing on global d
 ata\, regional analysis\, and thematic chapters\, the Report provides evid
 ence-based insights into the state of freedom of expression worldwide and 
 offers guidance for policy responses grounded in international standards.\
 nThe event\, co-organized by the Swedish National Commission for UNESCO\, 
 UNESCO and International IDEA\, will present the Report\, situating its fi
 ndings within the broader global context of democratic decline and emphasi
 zing the critical role of multilateral institutions in safeguarding freedo
 m of expression\, strengthening democratic governance\, and supporting ind
 ependent journalism.\n \n \n \n\nhttps://indico.un.org/event/1022107/
