For the first time, Reporters Without Borders is publishing a list of profiles of its “100 Heroes informations" or in English "100 information heroes"On World Press Freedom Day (today 3 May).
Through their work and their activism, these "100 heroes" helped promote the freedom of the press guaranteed by Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The freedom “to seek, to take and to spread information and ideas in any medium of expression, and regardless of borders.”
The 100 journalists (of course there are others who are not on the list) have her as their ideal service of the common good and can serve as examples.
"World Press Freedom Day" was created on the initiative of Reporters Without Borders.
"Today, with the list of 100, we pay tribute to the courage of journalists and bloggers who sacrifice their security and sometimes their lives for their mission," said Christophe Deloire, secretary general of Reporters Without Borders.
