Fernandez, who is president of the World Editors Forum, said “some of the best journalism our industry has to offer” will be showcased.

“It is not just about one day – it's about the work that professional newsrooms do all year round,” he said. “World News Day is about drawing inspiration and renewing our commitment to purposeful journalism.” 

Kathy English said the challenge to all newsrooms was to do more to show journalism's value to young and underserved audiences. “To build and gain trust with the public, we must first reach them by representing their voices and experiences."

The World News Day campaign is organised by the Canadian Journalism Foundation and WAN-Ifra’s World Editors Forum.
