Press Freedom Week

media release: Join the Associated Press for a weeklong series of conversations designed to take you behind the scenes of how independent journalism really works and why it matters.

Together, we’ll explore how journalists secure access, stand up for their independence and hold powerful institutions accountable on behalf of the public — and what’s at stake when that work is challenged.

Be part of these candid conversations about the future of press freedom, the responsibility that comes with reporting freely and the daily work required to keep a free press strong.

April 27: Why Press Freedom Matters

April 28: Accountability Journalism in Action: Investigating a Multibillion-Dollar Empire

April 29: When the News is Too Much
