MedDMO marks World Press Freedom Day

World Press Freedom Day, which is observed annually on 3 May, highlights the importance of a free, independent and pluralistic press as a cornerstone of a democratic society. 

It serves both as a celebration of the fundamental principles of press freedom and as a reminder of the risks faced by journalists worldwide.

In the Mediterranean region, the Mediterranean Digital Media Observatory () plays an important role in strengthening media resilience and promoting informed public discourse in line with the values of World Press Freedom Day.

The University of Malta is one of the partners of MedDMO, and it helps monitor digital media ecosystems, analyse information flows, and support initiatives that combat disinformation while encouraging ethical journalism practices.

By fostering collaboration among researchers, journalists, and civil society actors across Mediterranean countries, MedDMO contributes to safeguarding press freedom in an increasingly complex digital environment.
