Irish Examiner view: Protect our news

Ahead of World Press Freedom Day next Friday, we should all be cognisant of the fragile nature of press freedom and here in Ireland we should be working hard to ensure to protect what we have got.

Media freedom is something we take for granted in this country and it is something we should, but perhaps don’t, cherish.

We should especially value the fact that our print, digital, and broadcast media are largely committed to reporting factually and truthfully, even when it does not sit comfortably with those in power or those with an agenda of one sort or
another.
