On 2-5 May 2022, UNESCO and the Republic of Uruguay will host the annual World Press Freedom Day Global Conference in a hybrid format in Punta Del Este, Uruguay. The Conferene will address the digital era’s impact on freedom of expression, the safety of journalists, access to information and privacy and will develop concrete recommendations to adress these challenges. Sanitary conditions permitting, the goal is to have the largest-possible number of participants join in-person, with all sessions live streamed via an online plattform.
