World Press Freedom Day 2020
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.









About the event
The freedom of the press has been centrally important in the history of humanism, and its defence a thread running throughout. Many of humanist heritage’s key individuals, both well and lesser known, have fought for press freedom as writers, publishers, booksellers, and readers. Join Humanists UK on World Press Freedom Day to improve the representation of these figures on Wikipedia.

Drawing on Humanists UK’s Humanist Heritage project, we will create, edit, and add to Wikipedia entries relating to press freedom, highlighting the contributions of humanists and freethinkers. Learn more about the fascinating history of campaigns for press freedom whilst developing your digital skills and learning how to edit Wikipedia.

Both beginners and more experienced editors are welcome to join in.
