How important is freedom of the press for you ????
![Page 11: Freedom of the Press Workshop April 17, 2010. Hans Siemes Freelance journalist President of the NVLJ, The Dutch Organization of Agricultural and Horticultural.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070305/5514425f5503466d1a8b588a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Importance
• Why is freedom of the press important?
– Right information is a basic need for people to survive like eating and drinking, shelter and health.
– Example, the weather forecast.– Freedom of the press is the guarantee that
people can get the right information.

Servants of the people
• Everyone is looking for the right information; journalists are the one’s hired by the people to do that.
• You are servants for your readers, listeners and viewers. They want to know the truth, and nothing but the truth; they want to know the facts and nothing but the facts.
• You know how difficult that is.

But…….
• The government or our organization give the right information…….
Is that correct?
What are the goals of the politicians and organizers???
BE CRITICAL ontherwise…….

Freedom of the press and freedom
• In my opinion freedom is one of the highest goods to fight for. A free man is what we want to be.
• The press is the watchdog for freedom
• This watchdog can only bark if it’s free to find the facts and the truth.
