Read more. Listen more. • The New York Times

Journalism is under attack like never before, as politicians, organizations and governments seek to manipulate the news for their own agenda. A shift that has left us more divided than ever, with people retreating to echo chambers that only confirm their biases and preconceived notions. So, how do you persuade everyone of the importance of going beyond their bubble?

For World Press Freedom Day, we launched an initiative with UNESCO that has never been done before. We convinced the world’s most prominent news organizations to put aside competitive and ideological differences and come together to tell their audiences to read, listen to and watch their rival publications to promote a better informed society and in turn, a better world.

Over thirty diverse voice became one in support of a better-informed society

With politicians, organizations and governments seeking to manipulate the news for their own agenda, the media landscape has become increasingly fragmented. What we need now more than ever is empathy for those with whom we might disagree with. 

So how do you encourage people to step out of their bubbles and push themselves to try to understand points-of-view they otherwise wouldn’t expose themselves to?

For World Press Freedom Day, the world’s most prominent news organizations put aside competitive and ideological differences and came together to tell their audiences to read, listen to and watch their rival publications, all to promote a better-informed society and a better world.
