Das Motto des Internationalen Tages der Pressefreiheit am 3. Mai lautet heuer: „Eine Zukunft in Frieden gestalten: Pressefreiheit für Menschenrechte, Entwicklung und Sicherheit fördern.“

Während bei der World Press Freedom Day Global Conference am 04. und 05. Mai in Lusaka, Sambia, über diese Themen gesprochen wird, spinne, stricke und häkle ich im Atelier Mitzi für die Pressefreiheit: Mit meiner Handspindel stelle ich aus alten Zeitungen Papiergarn her. Daraus entstehen gehäkelte Körbe und gestrickte Stücke.

Ein herzliches Danke meiner wundervollen Tochter @hasi für die tollen Fotos!

RT by @UE_Luxembourg: Let the truth be told, let the press be free. 📰

Journalists hold power to account, uncover injustice, and keep citizens informed often at great personal risk.

This #WorldPressFreedomDay, we reaffirm our commitment to protecting journalists and defending independent media.

Because free press is the foundation of democracy.
