UN Secretary-General António Guterres' video message for the World Press Freedom Day – 3 May 2025

With AI, we have more access to information than ever— but not all of it is verifiable. That’s why press freedom matters. It helps ensure access to reliable, fact-checked information—and fosters awareness grounded in evidence. On this World Press Freedom Day (3 May), join us in standing up for media freedom—for informed societies, media literacy, and access to verified information.
