Zimbabwe: "Countries With a Free Media Tend to Be Less Corrupt" - Ambassador Melanie Robinson

On Press Freedom Day we mark a global day of reflection about how to promote a free press and protect journalists. Importantly we also commemorate the contribution of southern Africa to media freedom. Twenty-eight years ago the Windhoek declaration was adopted committing all member states of UNESCO to upholding a free press. That declaration was largely written by African journalists and is a reminder that the aspiration for a free media is not confined to any one political tradition or location but is universal.
