World Press Freedom Day Publishers and journalists are arrested and jailed every so often because they are seen as a threat. May 3 celebrates World Press Freedom Day, honoring sacrifices around the world made for freedom of the press. This further reminds governments of their duty to respect and uphold the right to freedom of expression, central to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Join TakingITGlobal in celebrating the day by submitting to Panorama Zine, or sharing a publication through our Toolkits and Publications section. |

World Information Society Day - May 17 In November 2005, the World Summit on the Information Society called upon the UN to recognize May 17 as World Information Society Day. In March 2006, the General Assembly made it official, declaring May 17 as World Information Society Day to help raise awareness of the possibilities that the use of the Internet and other information and communication technologies can bring to societies and economies. Be part of the exchange! How has the information revolution effected you? Showcase your personal stories, passions and actions through a TIGblog post! |
