Unmasking the Challenges: Journalists at Risk as World News Day Shines a Light

In a world where news is a commodity and journalism faces threats, September 28 marks World News Day, a day unitedly recognized by news outlets globally to emphasize the significance of truthful, fact-based journalism. As journalism becomes increasingly perilous, The Express US joins hands with counterparts across the UK, Ireland, and the USA to highlight the indispensable nature of trusted news.

A Dangerous Landscape for Reporters

In the year 2025, journalism has never faced a more harrowing time. With 48 journalists killed and more than 350 imprisoned worldwide, the magnitude of violence against those who dare to report the truth is astonishing. Journalists in the US face constant harassment, threats, and violence, making their profession a dangerous vocation.

The Expanding Threat

The environment journalists operate in has shifted dramatically. De facto censorship through persistent threats and violence stalks them. At The Express US and Reach, the intimidation faced by journalists has doubled yearly. This dire situation is made worse by dwindling government support for journalism education and the challenge of maintaining reliability in the age of social media and big tech.

Journalism as the Beacon of Truth

Despite the adversities, preserving the sanctity of journalism remains critical. According to Daily Express US, journalism is nearing a tipping point—if successful in silencing journalists, society would become inundated with opinion over facts, losing key scrutiny over governing bodies. Journalism enlightens the public, scrutinizing councils and authorities, and catalyzes change.
