Pope Francis said this Wednesday that the world “needs” free journalists and that they “help remember the many situations of suffering” in the context of World Press Freedom Day.
“Freedom of the press is an important indicator of a country’s health. In fact, dictatorships are fighting to limit or suppress it. We need freelance journalists to help us remember the many situations of suffering,” he defended.
The message was posted on the pontiff’s Twitter profile in nine different languages.
